Fort Dobbs is pleased to offer a variety of educational programming that brings a glimpse of colonial frontier life to the classroom.

Our EDUCATOR'S GUIDE (.pdf) outlines the assortment of programming available for school aged children.

Our JUNIOR HISTORIAN (.pdf) program is designed for families and homeschoolers to complete on their own time before and during a visit to Fort Dobbs. Those who complete at least 8 of the 12 activities in the packet will receive an official “Fort Dobbs Junior Historian” certificate from a staff member.

For those who cannot visit in person, a VIRTUAL FIELD TRIP (link) experience is available! 
A series of videos exploring the history of Fort Dobbs and the lives of the people living on the NC frontiers during the French and Indian War allows students to visit digitally.
Educators using this resource are requested to email the site manager with the total number of students served at scott.douglas@ncdcr.gov
