This program, which is geared toward 4-5 grades, incorporates history, art, science, writing, math, economics, music and medicine of the 1770’s, and is centered around the seige of Fort Laurens.

Students will enlist in the Continental Army of 1777, study artillery trajectories, print a Continental Congress Broadside on a printing press, taste camp food, practice military drill, play period camp instruments, lay out the ground work of the fort using replica 1770 surveying equipment, and visit with General George Washington as he prepares his military strategy for Fort Laurens.
