ActiveFor people who enjoy walking as much as two miles a day, perhaps to explore historic neighborhoods or a nature trail.
Moderately ChallengingFor hardy explorers who enjoy a good physical challenge, spending most of their days on the go.

Excellent, very active and interesting way to learn history.

This program is rather short, but it packs a lot of activities into the time allotted. You learn a lot about the three presidents, although the focus is more on relationships and national/social history than on politics. There were three interesting field trips, five interesting lectures, and two outstanding performances (18th-century fiddle music and a reenactment of Pres. James Monroe). A web travelogue of our experience with this program is at http://www.posix.com/CVille12/

The study of the three Founding Fathers, Jefferson, Madison and Monroe was like a breath of fresh air. In this day and age when our country is fighting to keep Democrac in tact, it is a good thing to go back to our beginnings and realize how much was given then so that we can have it now.
