The USS Constellation invites youngsters, six years old and up, to come aboard to learn about the lives of the young boys who served as powder monkeys during the Civil War. Young "recruits" will find out through demonstrations and hands-on activities, how lads from eleven to eighteen lived in Mr. Lincoln's Navy. Powder Monkey Tours provide the visitors with an exceptional glimpse into mid-19th century American naval life through the unique perspective of the young boys who served on fighting ships as powder monkeys. We will then have access to the other ships for self guided tours.

The program explores three topics:
People: While dressed in colonial clothing, students will learn about the lives of those living in London Town, both free and unfree, by exploring how they would have interacted in a social center of colonial life: the tavern of the William Brown House.
Work: The work that men, women, and children would have done to support themselves, their families, and their community are explored through hands-on activities such as hearth cooking in the Lord Mayor's Tenement and woodworking in the Carpenter Shop.
Trade: London Town's role as a British colonial seaport and its connection to a global trade network are discovered in the Seaport station. Here students create rope at the Ropewalk, and examine objects similar to those found by archaeologists at the Rumney-West Tavern site in the Exhibit.

This historic farm is a 90 minute drive, so plan accordingly! Pack water, wear close-toed shoes, and apply sunscreen. The facility is re-emerging after COVID and once prided themselves on being a "touch-everything" museum. They have plans for still engaging the kids even if it means the kids don plastic gloves at times to touch shared objects. Our guided experience will include a tour of the farm with activities, some history of the food, migration, and plantations in 19th Century Maryland, a visit to animals such as chickens and guinea hogs, experiential learning with tools and objects used in industry and agriculture, as well as a look into the history of the Underground Railroad network. Parents are free but expected to chaperone. We will be the only group on-site that day. Toddlers are free to attend. Children ages 6-17 will each be $15. Pack a bagged lunch as we will have the final hour to eat at a covered pavilion and explore on our own before vacating at 1:00. I hope you will find time in your schedule as this living history experience looks to be fantastic!
