Children learn what it is like to become a Continental Soldier.

At Fort Stanwix National Monument children are encouraged to explore, ask questions, and participate in our programs and events. There is even a "Build Your Own Fort" section of the Willett Center.

One of the best and most fun ways to explore the park, however, is the Junior Ranger Booklet. It is available at the visitor center and online, and it is open to children of ALL ages! 

But while you are visiting our web page take the time to have fun and explore. There are many park activities you can do right from your very own home!

 

**Remember, children should only use the internet with the permission of their parents or guardians**
