No, the reason you probably never learned these facts in high school was because The Young Historians of Cassadaga Area High School in Florida went back to 1776 and captured the ‘butterflies’ they had inadvertently let loose in Philadelphia, changing the history back to what we know today. Or did they? Join the students as they try to correct their mistake in The Kids from Cassadaga.
