Classes for Your Homeschool

Our 6,200-square-foot Lobstering and the Maine Coast exhibit is the perfect place for students to learn about the American Lobster species and the history and science of lobstermen, their industry, and fishery management. Students “haul” a trap, prepare fishing gear, and negotiate the “Lobstermen’s Challenge Course.”

We all learn about the Revolutionary War in school: where it was fought, who fired the first shots and Paul Revere’s famous ride. But is what we learn in school the whole story, or in some cases, even the real story?

The Revolutionary War Veterans Association (RWVA) is a group of volunteers that will shed new light on the story of how our nation was born — the story that historians have discovered. The RWVA representatives will bring the events of April 19, 1775, a day that some call the most important day in American history, to life. Along the way, they’ll reveal some historical facts that might surprise you, like:

• Who fired the famous “Shot Heard Round the World?”
• What’s the name of the obscure location where the Revolutionary War really began?
• How were colonists able to break the British line at Concord’s North Bridge in under 2 minutes?

The RWVA invites you to experience a LibertySeed event, where they will recount the happenings leading up to the birth of our nation
