American History Live is an exciting, free educational program whose mission is to educate, entertain, and help students retain American history and civics. Our program provides students in traditional classroom, homeschool, and community group settings with a deeper appreciation of our nation’s history.
Founder's Rich History
American History Live utilizes animated historical figures to offer students a unique opportunity to interact in real time with American Founders Benjamin Franklin, Abigail Adams, Alexander Hamilton, Prince Hall, and Betsy Ross. The program creates a memorable experience that engages students in learning American history and civics. Our characters are voiced by trained voice actors, utilizing a script created by experienced educators.
American History Live is an innovative tool designed to help educators engage students and leave a memorable impression of American history. Our historic figures come to the classroom using a video-conferencing platform, as an interactive, real-time experience with voice-over talent, bringing history to life!
Our program is available to public, private, charter, and homeschool educators. All lesson plans meet state and national standards. Applicable state standards are included in each lesson plan.
Public and private school educators, American History Live provides our historic visitor program. Invite one, or multiple, of our historical figures to discuss their experiences in early America.
Homeschool educators and co-ops can have their students join our weekly homeschool class or have individual sessions with our characters.
We are also available to afterschool programs and community groups.
