Bedford Boys Tribute Center

Museum

Patrick Henry's Red Hill

Museum

👍👍 Patrick Henry's role was arguably more "key" to the origins of the American Revolution than the founding fathers. It's in every single choice we make daily: choosing liberty or (slow) death. Time is now for us to wake up & realize how much freedom we've allowed to be usurped while we have been foc...

👍👍 What an unforgettable trip！Not many people may know about it, so few have come. The reception time seems to be short, so you may need to contact in advance if you want to visit.
