History in the Making Youth Program (Hampton)

March 28 @ 10:00 am - 12:00 pm

Join experts from Fort Monroe for a hands-on, skill building workshop series, exploring the various ways we study and engage with the past.

2025 – 2026 Theme: Living History

How do you craft an interpretation? Character interpretation, embodying a person of the past, combines the skills of a historian, an actor and a teacher. Join us to learn more about the skills that support interpretive work, including prop making, music and dance.

Workshop 3: Crafting a Character

This session we’ll explore object reproduction, acting techniques including music and dance, and learn about various people who are part of Fort Monroe’s history.

What We’ll Do

  • Examine primary sources from Fort Monroe’s history
  • Craft object reproductions using a variety of methods including scuplting and 3D printing
  • Meet living historians and participate in interactive activities
