Attention Social Studies Teachers

Would you like to go live in history for 3 weeks during your summer break? Wake up and see green trees, a river, and the great house where Robert E. Lee was born. This breathtaking sight is found at Stratford Hall in Virginia. The class is titled "Leadership and Life in Revolutionary America" and credit hours are through the University of Virginia where Thomas Jefferson built an institution to advance learning in a new country. Not too far from the University is his home Monticello, where students in this course will spend the Fourth of July enjoying history making festivities with this awesome backdrop.
