The panel may not be historically accurate but the doors are a must see for any visit to the Capitol.EJWiteknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28102666.post-18105308061031005132013-04-09T16:20:48.713-05:002013-04-09T16:20:48.713-05:00As I recall, the museum's portrayal of the pol...As I recall, the museum's portrayal of the political conflict in Boston is all Patriots versus Tories, with no tensions within the Patriot movement: between radicals and moderates, merchants and craftsmen, employers and employees, &c. <br /><br />Good point about this Samuel Adams looking more like his Copley portrait than the square-jawed figure at Faneuil Hall.J.
