About United States and Virginia government is shaped by experience. It is improved by learning from mistakes and injustices to make a better government of, by, and for the people. To commemorate the 250th Anniversary of the American Revolution, for this year's history homeschool day, students will examine and interact with the evolution of American government from the Revolution to the present day with activities at the historic fourth Prince William County courthouse in Brentsville. Discover how citizens of the past took action to shape the county's history, and how students can do so today. Activities will include a mock trial, crafts, and hands-on activities.
