My son's 4th grade history curriculum will be The American Revolution. I've gathered LOTS of resources for us on my pinterest board. Check it out here: http://pinterest.com/carennh/american-revolution/. We're lucky enough to live in New England, so I figured this was the perfect area to begin our homeschooling history study. TONS of opportunities for field trips etc. For example, we'll be heading up to Fort Ticonderoga in upstate New York for their homeschooler day the first weekend of September. Then the "Fort at #4" in New Hampshire has an entire weekend in October devoted to the Revolutionary War, General John Stark (he's the one who said Live Free or Die), mustering the troops etc. We'll also visit Concord and Lexington, Bunker Hill, The Boston Tea Part Museum, and lots of other places.
