Education Webinar: Historically Celebrating Independence Day
Resource Spotlight
How have Americans celebrated the Fourth of July in the past? In 1776, John Adams predicted that his fellow citizens would commemorate independence annually with "Shews, Games, Sports...Bells, Bonfires and Illuminations." Let's explore the past of Independence Day celebrations over the last 250 years!
You’re invited to join the American Battlefield Trust for a free Resource Spotlight Webinar, where we’ll explore historic celebrations, explore primary sources for Fourth of July through the centuries, brainstorm easy educational ideas to celebrate "the 250th" before the school year ends and play with AI tools to make the "party planning" easy for you.
Sarah Kay Bierle, from the American Battlefield Trust’s Education Team, is excited share some of her favorite Independence Day accounts with you. You'll receive a collection of free resources and an attendance certificate is available by request during the session.
Register today and make plans to join us for this free webinar. We can’t wait to share ideas on this topic by popular request!
