Buck up we’re adventure bound! Non-stop live history and fun for the whole family. All live! All free! You laugh – you cry – you just flat out have a good time – because it’s not just history – its personal.

Laugh out loud with Mark Twain, the iconic world traveler and wily intellectual whose books inspired America’s spirit of adventure. Take to the skies with Amelia Earhart, whose courage and plucky personality showed how women could soar beyond society's expectations. Race to the North Pole with Matthew Henson, the intrepid African American explorer who co-discovered the North Pole.
