Homeschool History: Revolutionary Spies

Step back in time and experience the past in a truly immersive way with Homeschool History at the Farm Park. This program series combines historical learning with practical, hands-on activities that bring history to life. Each class will cover a different theme from the Farm Park’s history, in which students will gain a deeper understanding of historical practices by actively engaging with the tools and techniques used in day-to-day life. Your child will leave with a richer understanding of history—and a greater appreciation for the simple joys of farm life. This Fall, children will get to enjoy a whole new set of historical themes, so be on the lookout for when they’re announced!

Trust no one. Question everything. The Revolution needs you!

Step into the world of 1776, where secret messages, hidden information, and dangerous missions could mean the difference between victory and defeat. Students will learn how Washington’s spies gathered intelligence, passed along coded messages, and operated in secrecy while the fate of the colonies hung in the balance. Then, they’ll become spies themselves, joining a makeshift spy ring and working together to decipher clues, crack secret codes, uncover hidden information, and solve the mystery. Can you uncover the truth before it’s too late – or will the enemy find you first?

This is a drop off program, but parents are welcome to hang around the Farm Park during the class. Please be sure to dress for the weather and bring water.
