Cantigny has a variety of activities for everyone. Every year they do a Revolutionary War reenactment. This includes several people dressed up in Revolutionary War style clothing, a tent city which replicates the time period and several time period demonstrations (candle stick maker, black smith etc.). They also do battle reenactments, canon demonstrations, troop formations, etc. This is a great way to teach your children history. The schools teach it out of a book, but to actually see in person what is in the books is pretty cool and leaves a lasting impression. They have also had WWII and Civil War reenactments in the past.
