Revolutionary Girl Dreaming

We open our workshop by learning specialized listening skills.

​

Then, we interact with the unforgettable stories of the unrecognized women who contributed mightily to the American Revolution. 

​

After the stories, come lots of hands-on historic creative activity such as singing, marketing teamwork, and painting the original flag.

​

Creative writing lessons feature poetic skills that are  transferred to any type of writing. We specialize in Free Verse (the most patriotic poetry of all) and the all-new Revku (haikus about the Revolutionary War).  Our new workshop journal includes activities for students after our sessions are finished.

Young women study a famous sketch with a long name — "The Women of Bryan's Station KY. Supplying the Garrison With Water." This print was published in 1851 and is housed in the Library of Congress.

Our first program was in February 2025 at the Lexington History Museum. The success of turning American Revolutionary stories into non-fiction creative work through story, song, art, and writing cannot be stopped.

 

  Students experience these incredible stories and more...
