Explore American history while walking in the footsteps of George Washington, his family and the people of Fredericksburg during the time of the American Revolution. Enjoy hands-on activities, creative projects and lively games at Fredericksburg's most iconic sites: Mary Washington House, Rising Sun Tavern, Hugh Mercer Apothecary Shop and Mary Washington Monument.
Discover 18th-century food, medicine and daily life as you visit the places Washington knew well. This four-evening program features mostly outdoor, small-group activities, and children (ages 8 to 12) will experience a different historic site each night. Give your young historian an unforgettable summer adventure as we celebrate the 250th anniversary of our nation's independence!
