The Magic Tree House Book 2Q is a children's book written by Mary Pope Osborne. It is part of the bestselling Magic Tree House series, which follows the adventures of two siblings, Jack and Annie, as they travel through time and space using a magical tree house. In Book 2Q, titled "Revolutionary War on Wednesday," Jack and Annie are transported to the battlefields of the American Revolutionary War. They find themselves in the middle of a dangerous mission to help General George Washington. With the help of a mysterious ghost and some magical clues, they must gather important information that could change the course of history. Throughout the story, Jack and Annie encounter many challenges and learn about the hardships faced by soldiers during the revolutionary period.
To learn about the history of the Witch House, I actually had to do a lot of digging online to find out anything about it. The house was built in the mid 1670s for Captain Richard Davenport who then moved to Boston before he finished building it. In 1675, Davenport sold the partially constructed house to Judge Jonathan Corwin who then completed it and moved in with his wife and children.
There aren t a lot of these houses remaining and it was wonderful to walk through the house, peer out its windows and listen to the creaky floorboards under your feet. There are also ropes draped between these objects to prevent people from walking around the rooms and a sign in one of the rooms asking people to help protect the original pine floorboards by not standing beyond the sign.
Throughout the story, Jack and Annie encounter many challenges and learn about the hardships faced by soldiers during the revolutionary period. They witness historic events such as the crossing of the Delaware River and the victory at Trenton. As they navigate through the war-torn landscape, the siblings gain a deeper understanding of the sacrifices made by those who fought for independence.
The Salem Witch House: Tour Review
The Witch House is an iconic first period house in Salem, Mass with direct ties to the Salem Witch Trials. It was the home of Jonathan Corwin who was a judge in the Salem Witch Trials.
Despite the fact that I go to Salem often and have walked past the Witch House many times, I’ve never been inside and decided to take a tour recently to give it a review.
I visited the house on November 1st, hoping to take a guided tour but was told they were unavailable because it was too busy that time of year.
The woman selling the tickets said they only do guided tours in the spring, summer and early fall. She also said that you get the same information on the guided tour as you do on the self-guided tour.
