Learn about US history (Declaration of Independence through the Civil War) by examining the money you use daily! After taking this class, you'll know all about the people and places of our dollar bills from $1 to $100. You'll understand why we have the money we have and you'll know where to look for the hidden traps on real money so you can spot a fake!

During our tour, we'll visit 8 places in Washington, DC.: the Lincoln Memorial, White House (exterior only), Washington Monument, Alexander Hamilton statue, Jefferson Memorial, US Capitol (exterior only), Ulysses S. Grant statue, and the often-overlooked Memorial to the 56 Signers of the Declaration of Independence. Whew, what a trip!

As a tour guide in Washington, DC, your child will enjoy a professionally created tour exploring our nation's capital through 360° photos, sprinkled with a generous amount of old original photographs and paintings courtesy of the Library of Congress. This is truly the next best thing to visiting these sites in person, perhaps even better since we're not bound by geography and walking between the memorials! 

This virtual tour combined with our Animal War Heroes tour (coming soon) covers our US History from the Revolutionary War to today. Your kids will love learning US history which is a great way to prepare for your "in real life" visit to Washington, DC. In the materials section below, you can find everything that your child will need for this class.
