Thank you so much to Mrs. Martell for taking us on a fabulous tour of Needham! We saw in person so many sites that we have learned about, and so many sites that we are getting ready to learn about!

Ask your child what they learned about:

**town cemetery
Native Americans
Sabrena Lake
First Eliot School
Little Red School House
Dog Corner
**Baker Estate
Echo Bridge
Hemlock Gorge
Town Center
First Parish Church

**You may want to learn more about these with your child. We weren't able to get out at the cemetery, and there's really so much to see there. Click here to take a virtual tour.

William Emerson Baker was a fascinating citizen of Needham. He has a very unique history, but we're unable to learn lots about him during our unit. Click here to see a slide show about him and the "amusement park" he created right here in Needham.
