Join Tom and James as they journey back in time
to Old Sturbridge Village (http://www.osv.org/) a historical theme
park set in 1830s Jacksonian America, when most government was handled
at the town meeting level. It was a very self-sufficient time
when most everything was grown or made close to home. Men
lived their entire lives within twenty miles of their birthplace, the
farmer down the road might also be a cooper on his day off, and
and owning a horse was the equivalent of a Porsche 930 SE. 
As James and Tom wander the town, they find out what it meant to 
be a blacksmith, a cooper, what did kids do for fun back then,
what sheep are like, and what types of punishment were
inflicted when  they disobeyed the young school Mistress at the
one-room schoolhouse?

Join us as we interview The Patriot Pastor, Garret Lear:
http://www.thewelloflivingwater.com and discuss the various separatists that settled Seventeenth-Century New England. Every kid in America knows that in 1620 the Pilgrims stepped off The Mayflower at Plymouth Rock. Then men in black like Captain Miles Standish and William Bradford, clad in buckled hats and shoes sat down with the rest of the Pilgrims to a tasty First Thanksgiving with Squanto and friendly Indians (and not-so-friendly Chief Massasoit).

Grab your shawl and broomstick and fly up with Tom and Scott as we journey to haunted Salem, Massachusetts on All Hallow’s Eve. We start out in a windy Victorian graveyard at the tomb of George Peabody, the well-paid American servant of the Rothschilds’ Bank of England and mentor to J.P. Morgan. Then we head out along the harbor to The House of Seven Gables, mysterious home of the Nathaniel Hawthorne novel featured in an episode of Bewitched.

Along Salem Harbor we visit The Old Customs house and discuss the notorious Blue Light Federalists, Salem merchants who traded with the British all during The War of 1812! Later, we become on-the-scene “Ghostbusters,” at the spooky old Hawthorne Hotel, then march to Salem Green and St. Peter’s Episcopal Church, where the current priest tells how his predecessor was nearly hanged during the Salem Witch Trials, and how, later on, the congregation split into Tories and Patriots during The American Revolution.

“Ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country.” With these words, John Fitzgerald Kennedy began his brief one thousand days in office. Yet few will remember that while still a senator, Jack had co-written an excellent work of American History: “Profiles in Courage,” with Ted Sorensen, who later became his speech writer.

Join Scott, Tom, and guest co-host, John Horrigan (vocie of the Boston Bruins and New England Patriots alumni) as we ring “The Liberty Bell,” (our special time machine) for the first time, to bring you this incredible interview with President John F. Kennedy. Sit down with us for an extraordinary round-table discussion of the United States Senate in the fateful days of Daniel Webster, Henry Clay, and John C. Calhoun as “the great triumvirate” debated America’s future. Would there be liberty or slavery? One country or two? Was the union important enough to risk one’s honor, reputation and entire career for? Find out now, in style and wit, as we bring you John F. Kennedy, historian, in this very rare and final slice of Camelot.
