Educational Programs

The park Interpretation Division offers educational programming for area schools and civic organizations (roughly 1 hour radius from the Battlefield).

Our main program looks at the life of a Colonial-era soldier, using replica uniforms and implements to help develop an understanding of the soldier's life.

Both the Scavenger Hunt and the Answer Key are available as PDF files. You'll need to print a copy of each for use with your class. If you don't have a PDF viewer program, downloads are available for free.

The Scavenger Hunt PDF files aren't very large (under 100KB each), so they shouldn't take very long to display on your computer.

If you're ready to look at the Virtual Tour, you can begin now.

If you experience any problems with the materials, please contact the park.
