Ga. almost leads tour of historic homestead

Here we are at the Nathan Hale Homestead Nathan Haleing it up in the hometown of Nathan Hale - Coventry, CT. Ga. did a report on Nathan Hale last year for school - little idea did she have at the time that she was going to a place that really knows how to celebrate and honor the life of that Revolutionary War hero.

When she was asking detailed questions and whipping out facts and figures during the tour the docent took it all in stride. Of course she did! For who from Arizona doesn't have numerous key points from the life of Connecticut's state hero memorized? 

In addition to his homestead (that's not actually the home he grew up in but his brother lived there), you can see the Nathan Hale Schoolhouse and at least a dozen pictures and statues throughout the state. 

This summer we held it to the Homestead and a couple of his statues and I regret that I only have one summer to give to ... (I don't think I can make that quip work).
