Explore the Founding of our Nation. The fight for liberty, commissioning of the first
U.S. Flag, and the life and times of Colonial Philadelphia will be brought to life in
this action filled program! Students will meet George Washington, Benjamin
Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, and Betsy Ross! March to the music of the Drum and
Fife, create with colonial crafters and play colonial yard games with the best of the
"enactors" from Historic Philadelphia. This project is being created by Imagination
Celebration in partnership with "Once Upon a Nation" in Philadelphia and is the
first program to be presented outside of Philadelphia!
