Rebels & Redcoats

Our Most Popular Program

Grades 3rd - 8th

Includes: The Powder Magazine, Heyward-Washington House, and the Old Exchange & Provost Dungeon​​

It's 1781 and Charleston is under British Occupation. Your secret mission begins with fellow Patriot soldiers at the Old Exchange. See where prisoners are being held by the British in the dungeon and learn about the Declaration of Independence in the Great Hall. Then journey to the Heyward-Washington house where Mrs. Heyward will talk abut the daily life of her household and the difficulties in Charleston while her husband has been imprisoned by the British. Finally, sign up for the militia and prepare for battle as you learn about gunpowder, muskets, and cannons at The Powder Magazine.
