Once Upon a Nation
Kids become junior detectives on the Colonial Kids’ Quest tour, where history is a mystery! Part of Once Upon a Nation storytelling benches, the Independence Living History Center will host tours through August.

Phineas Bell needs help in solving the mystery of a missing copy of the Declaration of Independence. Join Phineas and his runaway dog, Freedom, as they introduce some of their Colonial friends and puppet pals (Graciella the Goose, Nibbles the Mouse and Broadside the Cat).

Kids can have a great time searching for clues at historic sites — and if you follow the trail correctly and solve the mystery, you receive a special prize!
