Private Yankee Doodle

Join us for 24 hours in the life of a Revolutionary soldier based on Joseph Plumb Martin's journal Private Yankee Doodle. Participants will dress, eat, drill, discuss politics, listen to music, examine artifacts, fire a musket and live overnight in a Revolutionary War camp.

Based on the latest brain research utilizing audio, visual, tactile and a wealth of material, participants will Live History. Teachers need only a sleeping bag, mat or air mattress and a sense of adventure!

Teachers will be able to:
- Develop lesson plans to implement Living History techniques,
- Use the original journal Private Yankee Doodle by Joseph Plumb Martin to bring history alive and stimulate writing activities, and
- Develop plans to utilize local historical sites.
