Be Creative!

Our Be Creative! initiative invites all members of the public to explore the arts from the Revolutionary War era by submitting short videos to be featured on our YouTube channel. Do you want to cook an eighteenth-century recipe, sew a colonial dress, or sing an early-American song? Give it a try and film a short video (<2 minutes) of you talking about your project, or even better, performing! See our YouTube channel for example videos or contact "Be Creative!" with questions.
