First Shot! Summer Adventure 2025
Do you have what it takes to live in the 18th century? Join our First Shot Summer Adventure to find out! Each day in this week-long program, we will explore historic sites and complete crafts, games, and activities about life during the Revolutionary War here in Lexington. Make a lantern and candle to see in the dark, see how far you can roll a wooden hoop with a stick, discover what's in a Minuteman's backpack, and more! You'll experience dancing, doctoring, and military drilling to see what your role would be as a colonial kid. At the end of the week, we'll showcase what we've learned in a mini-museum and reenact the Battle of Lexington with real reenactors.
