To maintain this tradition in the age of “social distancing,” The Pursuit of History, a non-profit pioneering innovative seeks ways to engage more people with history, today announced “America’s Summer Roadtrip 2020,” a free live stream event debuting on August 1 on AmericasSummerRoadtrip.org. It will also be streamed and archived on The Pursuit of History’s Facebook page. The “Roadtrip” will travel across the country and through our nation’s history with 12, hour-long livestreams from 12 leading historic sites. Many of the sites are still operating temporarily with limited or no public access and services due to public
health restrictions in response to the Covid-19 Pandemic. Conducted by leading expert guides, each tour will include a special behind-the-scenes look at something that visitors would not get to see if they went in person. On Aug. 1, the tour will start at 6 a.m. and run until 6 p.m. The tour destinations include: • Historic New Bridge Landing (River Edge, N.J.) – Revolutionary War battle site and Washington headquarters • The Rebecca Nurse Homestead (Salem, Mass.) – Home of woman convicted and executed in Salem Witch Trials • Faneuil Hall and The Printing Office of Edes and Gill (Boston) – Cradle of Liberty.
