Help students discover America’s colonial past and understand the complex history of slavery with a field trip to Hampton National Historic Site. Set on a grand 25,000-acre estate, the site features a Georgian manor that reflects the transition from early colonial society to the fledgling American republic. Students can participate in guided tours that explore the lives of the enslaved individuals who worked on the plantation, as well as their significant contributions to early American economy. The site also offers a self-guided scavenger hunt, which encourages students to explore Hampton NHS and learn about its history. These educational programs foster rich discussions on social justice, American history and the evolution of the nation.
