Bring Mount Vernon to YOUR Classroom!

Would your students like to sing a slave song with Caroline, Martha Washington’s maidservant, or hear Billy Lee’s stories of riding alongside George Washington in the Revolutionary War? This is a privilege usually reserved for students who visit Mount Vernon on a field trip, but we are now bringing our popular Washington’s World first person interpreter program to your classroom! Washington’s World: Slave Life is the first in a series of programs where students can meet the people that lived with George Washington. If your classroom is video-conference enabled, please visit us on the CILC website to request a program. This program will be free to the first school to request it, but then resumes the regular price of $125 for a 45 minute program.

The response was overwhelming: thousands of schools submitted letters! Along with the portrait, schools received curriculum materials to help explore our first president’s contributions.
