Description

As back-to-school season settles in, the John Brown House Museum, a museum of the Rhode Island Historical Society, will host a special Saturdays in the 1700s Colonial Classroom event on Saturday, September 13, 2025, from 10am-1pm. Living historian Ryan Daniels will portray an 18th-century schoolmaster and discuss what a typical school day for children in 18th-century New England was like. Using a combination of historic reproductions alongside historical games, young visitors can see and experience what life at school might have been like at the time of the American Revolution.
