CLUE 3

A Revolution begins - A Nation is born
Where to go next? You shouldn’t be torn.
 
Your destination is a park along Battle Road
Where the Regulars marched on and couldn’t be slowed
 
The Hartwells watched as the soldiers arrived early dawn
Paul Revere was captured and Prescott rode on
 
History is displayed and you’ll learn quite a lot
When you go to the Visitor’s Center, which is your next stop
 
Collect a stamp and an additional clue
To find the year you’ll need to decipher this too  


CLUE 4

Chugga chugga, don’t slow!
You’re going to the train depot
 
Catch a train, stand by the track 
Search for a brick, not a plaque
 
Record the inscription with a pen
Dedicated to a famous name, then…
 
…Look one brick below to find the year
Write it in the booklet that you brought here
 
To solve the clue and find the brick,
You must complete this limerick:
 
A man rode to town to report what he saw
His tardiness was his only flaw
So Longfellow did edit
And Paul got the credit
But we try to remind everyone of _______
