20th Century Live! Field Trip Activities

American Journey

From Teddy Roosevelt to Ronald Reagan, we walk through it all – the mistakes and the triumphs that brought us to our own current moment in history, and the inspiring lessons we can draw from America’s journey.

American Town

Our make-believe town allows students to create their own stories–with elections, reporting, business start-ups, causes and community work to reinforce the important values we share.

American Fun

Students can dress up in period clothes, try foods from America’s past, hear the popular music from the American Century, try crafts, and hear incredible stories from our volunteers.

Students will acknowledge heroes, learn from the brightest and the best, and take note of others who played important roles in the American Century.

Stories & More LLC: Our Mission

The purpose of the 20th Century Live field trip is to help develop a greater understanding of the forces that have molded our nation through one hundred years, to understand the origins of today’s great debates, and to develop the insight and skills to discuss and advocate with civility.

Further, to see that conflicts are inevitable, that leaders matter, that values are at the core of our purpose as a people and a great nation. And, further still, that we are all travelers on this journey, we all have a voice, and that democracy demands our voices be heard.

This program is not a partisan exercise. It is an exploration of who we have been and what we can become. It seeks to promote understanding, betterment for all and, above all, to deepen our understanding of Civics, our appreciation for common ground, and the values that make our nation all that it is and can be.

This program features discussion, film, debate, reenactment, guest speakers and more to dramatize our past and to make it a part of our worldview today.

It models listening, it encourages critical thinking, it promotes participation and curiosity about the issues that form our collective destiny.

Our program seeks, overall, to support the skills and tools of good citizenship in a time of great challenges. We strive to inspire optimism and hope , and participation in the world around us.
