The colonial period began with the settlement of Jamestown in 1607 and ended in 1775 at the start of the Revolutionary War. And without a doubt, those 170 years of the Colonial America era hold the greatest adventure stories of all time.

This excellent Living History museum depicts the daily hardships and vivid accounts of the militia's three day stand-off against the French and Indians. Their bravery earned them recognition by the colonies to the south, which would surely have fallen had it not been for militia, and on July 2, 1753, No. 4 officially became Charlestown, New Hampshire.
