Fort Frederica National Monument - For Kids (U.S. National Park Service)

Throughout the year, Fort Frederica offers programs for kids such as a "Hands on Musket Drill" where children learn the history of Frederica's soldiers and their primary weapon: the long-land pattern musket. Also offered is a history day-camp during the summer. Find out when these programs are offered through our Schedule of Events page.

GAMES AND TOYS: The Museum Store sells a variety of authentic colonial children's toys and games, including cup & ball, fox & goose, marbles, and jacks.

BOOKS: Two books written from a child's perspective are available in the Museum Store. "Bloody Summer of 1742" tells the story of a young boy's adventures during the critical summer of 1742, while "Phoebe's Diary" interprets the events through a young girl's eyes. Both are written by award winning author Joyce Blackburn.

At the KidsZone children can explore their national parks. This site includes WebRangers, in-park Junior Ranger programs, and Park Fun and Activities. Included are feature stories written by kids whose parents work in parks.
