We the People: Historic Park Installation

Get ready to travel back in time! In honor of America’s 250th birthday, Burritt on the Mountain is turning history into hands-on fun for the whole family. Step into the Past Wander through real 19th-century houses that families lived in long ago! Each one has amazing stories waiting for you to discover. Play, Create, and Explore Kids, ages 4–12, can jump into exciting activities: • Old-fashioned games that let you play like children in the 1800s • Heritage crafts and skills that let you see what it was like to make things for your family and home before modern conveniences • Panning for gemstones and fool’s gold at the sluice like the prospectors did during the Alabama gold rush of 1829 • Searching for the answers to the We the People scavenger hunt Learn on Your Way At each stop, find a few fun facts about the families that lived in the houses located in our historic park or scan easy QR codes for more in-depth knowledge about the past. (Adults will enjoy this too!) It’s a day packed with discovery — celebrating the people, places, and moments that shaped our nation. Don’t miss this chance to make history come alive!
