Programs for school groups allow students to express their creativity, connect with the park's stories in a variety of ways, and most importantly, have fun. Guilford Courthouse NMP offers the following programs:
How to Map a Battlefield
- How has the landscape changed? What did the battlefield look like in 1781 and how did the terrain affect the battle? Students rediscover the lost art of map making and create their very own maps of the Battle of Guilford Courthouse.
- How do you remember an event or someone important to you? Students learn about reasons for commemoration and design their own monuments through a fun, hands-on activity.
- Political cartoons were the memes of the 18th century. How did Americans use political cartoons to express their political views before and during the Revolution? Students draw political cartoons around Revolutionary War events.
