American History Alive! 17th-18th Century

Description:

Step back in time each week for a one-of-a-kind rendez vous with key personalities in American history. First quarter appearances will focus on the 1600s and 1700s. Meet famous and everyday Americans such as a Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, Martha Washington, John Adamas, a Powhattan Indian, and English colonist William Tharp.

Each week a professional, costumed living history interpreter will deliver a compelling first-person performance portraying his or her role in American history. Living history actors are the professionals employed by museums, historical sites, and conferences. They have typically studied their historical character for years and tell their story in first person. Presentations are conversational in style, occasionally involve the audience, and conclude with spontaneous audience Q & A. Watch the historical actors answer 21st century questions in character with period replies!

Students will receive a packet each quarter with biographies, puzzles, and activities about each famous personality that we will meet. Note: Students younger than age 8 must be accompanied by a paid parent or adult. Parents and siblings interested in the program must register and pay separately.

Topics in this series include: The 17th-18th Century (Quarter 1); The 1800s (Quarter 2); The Civil War (Quarter 3); and the 20th Century (Quarter 4).
