Jamestown, Plymouth, Life in Colonial America, Salem Witch Trials

Independence
Declaration of Independence, Revolutionary War, Constitution

Growing Pains
Slavery, Civil War, Industrial Revolution

Chronology Junior Edition Board Game



Chronology Card Game
by Great American Puzzle Factory

Our Aunt Nancy let us borrow this card game for our trip, and it is great! We had lots of fun playing it with people we met, or friends that let us park in their driveway. The rules are easy to learn and the play is fun. Everyone learns something! It's no longer available at Amazon.com, but buy it if you can!
