(T) Spies of the Revolution

In this super-secret meeting, join staff from the Museum of the American Revolution as we learn about the spies of the Revolution! From shopkeepers and mystery women to enslaved men who served as double agents, we'll discover who these spies were and how they operated undercover. We’ll solve puzzles, uncover secret messages, and discover why George Washington thought spies were essential to the Continental Army’s victory.

Aimed at elementary school students and their families, Revolution at the Library features hands-on, curiosity-sparking lessons incorporating replica artifacts and documents that children can examine and explore. Throughout the summer, educators from the Museum visit libraries to present engaging stories about the diverse people and complex events of the Revolutionary era, accompanied by activities that allow families to build their skills and knowledge together.
