Have you ever enjoyed the savory goodness of a Colonial Tea or listened to a Civil War soldier tell of the hardships of everyday life? Have you ever tried to run your own business? Have you ever wondered about the explorers who first visited the shores of North America, or the settlers who made our country so great with their diversity? Come along on our journey of discovery as we experience these and other exciting activities
