The 12th Annual Liberty Days
Class Registration

We are excited to invite you and your students to our 12th Annual Liberty Days: A Living History Timeline Adventure at The Stars and Stripes National Museum and Library. Due to our overwhelming response last year, we have made important changes to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for all participants.

Key Updates for This Year’s Event:

1. Eligibility: We are extending invitations to only 5th or 6th grade classes.

2. Limited Capacity: Attendance is limited to the first 800 students who register through our online registration to accommodate our space constraints.

3. Supervision Requirements: All students must remain with their class group. We require one adult chaperone for every 10 students.

4. Registration Process:

• You must complete the online registration form below. 
• Once registered, you will receive a confirmation email.
• If you do not receive a confirmation within 24 hours of registration, please reach out to us at info@nssml.org to see if spaces are still available.
• Before the event, each teacher will receive a printable confirmation passport. Please bring this passport to the event and present it at the registration tent. Your group will then be directed to the presentation area to begin your timeline adventure.

These changes will enhance the educational experience for all attendees while ensuring we can safely, comfortably, and efficiently accommodate everyone within our facilities.

Registration is on a first-come, first-served basis, so we encourage you to sign up early to secure your spot.

This event is a unique opportunity for your students to experience history hands-on. They will have the chance to walk from camp to camp and experience life during the Revolutionary War, the Civil War, WWI & II, and the modern era. Each encampment is staffed with individuals enthusiastic about their special time and place, and they have gone to great lengths to ensure that their persona, clothing, gear, and equipment are as accurate as possible.

Your students will observe and participate in historic demonstrations including code ciphers, quill writing, soap making, candle making, atlatl throwing, and tomahawk throwing. There will be, blacksmithing, hide tanning, historic rifle drills, uniform displays, mock battles, and more.. They will also have the opportunity to visit a WWII barracks complete with a nurse’s station, clerk’s station, and mess kitchen in the historic renovated barn.

In addition to the historical demonstrations, we offer a Liberty Days passport to each student who attends. The passport includes a map of the event and information about each encampment. Students can get their passports stamped at each activity they participate in. The first 250 students who get all their passports stamped will receive a free Liberty Days t-shirt!

Liberty Days Passport Program:

• All attending students will receive a special Liberty Days passport.
• As they explore various attractions and activities, they can collect stamps in their passports.

Admission to this event is free. 

If you have any questions or need further information, please don’t hesitate to contact Laura or Sheila at 573-568-2055.

We look forward to seeing you and your students at the 12th Annual Liberty Days Living History Timeline Adventure!
