The Brooks fifth-grade class traveled on a school bus to Montevallo to visit the American Village; parents had to ride in their cars.
American Village is Located at 3727 Highway S 119, Montevallo, AL 35115.
At lunch, the adults and children sat under the pines at picnic tables to eat.
After lunch, we sat in on a debate, where we listened to people discuss the Revolutionary War, Paul Revere's ride, George Washington at Valley Forge, Benjamin Franklin, Patrick Henry, the signing of the Constitution, and Betsy Ross, who made the American Flag.
At the American Village, we have the Liberty Bell, a Colonial Courthouse, Constitution Green, a replica of Washington Hall (Mount Vernon), a chapel modeled after Bruton Parish Chapel, tombstone markers, the twelve Amendments to the Constitution, and a replica of the Oval Office.
The Pettus Randall Miniature Museum featured a collection of dioramas, including those of presidents and their first ladies.
