Well-done documentary that makes a strong case for River Common to be a National Monument
If you are a history buff you will love this documentary that details the remarkable history of what is America's First Park, the RiverCommon (which dates back to 1769) . Through historical reenactments, the documentary chronicles 400 years including the battles between Connecticut and Pennsylvania at the site of the Wilkes-Barre park that eventually led to the Constitutional convention and the writing of the Constitution. After watching this documentary one cannot help but wonder why given the RiverCommon's important historic significance it hasn't been given national monument status. It's well-deserved. The film also goes into the RiverCommon's recent revitalization project including the clean up the Susquehanna River and rebuilding of the park that has beautified it and turned it into a popular destination for the local citizenry, tourists and history buffs alike. After seeing this documentary, this history buff plans to visit.
