Benjamin Franklin

“The Man Who Thought Outside the Box”

When faced with a situation, it is not always best to attack it straight on. This was one way Franklin became so successful! Look at life from a different perspective, and you may see more than you ever thought possible.

George Washington: Mount Vernon to Washington D.C.

“A Surveyor of Land to the Leader of a Nation”

“As the first of every thing, in our situation will serve to establish a precedent.” – George Washington

George Washington is most commonly known as the first President of our country. However, did you know this surveyor and gentleman farmer happily became a father to not only his wife's children and grandchildren, but to many nieces and nephews as well? His commitment to his family was as important to him as his commitment to his soldiers, and later, a fledgling nation. Learn what brought Washington from a surveyor of land to a leader of a nation!

 
Andrew Jackson, the Story of "Old Hickory"

“Our federal union, it must be preserved.” – Andrew Jackson

Commemorate the 200th anniversary of the War of 1812 with Andrew Jackson,
our seventh president, and voice of the "common man" as he tells the tales of his 1812 wartime exploits, his disagreements with congress, and his tumultuous presidency.


Teddy Roosevelt

“Lead By Example.

“We have duties to others and duties to ourselves, and we can shirk neither.”– Teddy Roosevelt  Having just completed his second term as president, Theodore Roosevelt reflects back on his triumphs and failures, primarily on his White House years.
