Explore the American Revolution through maps, debate, and games. Building on 35 years of free school-based services to NYC Students, our Revolutionary Streets is a new, three-part, interactive history workshop that uses the street names of Lower Manhattan to explore Patriot and Loyalist figures from the American Revolution. Through maps, debate, and games, students in city schools investigate how New York City’s streets reflect power, politics, and historical memory. It’s a fantastic addition to our Children’s Education program, the city’s oldest historic preservation children’s education program. 

This course is designed for 5th grade, middle school, and beyond.
