From Revolution to Resilience-Our journey to Independence.

Join the kids to follow Fiona Fayette as she visits Fayette sites! The story begins at Fort Necessity in Fayette County where a 22-year-old George Washington commanded his first battle in 1754, a skirmish that opened the French & Indian War. Walk the quiet battlefield or follow Braddock’s Road, and you can almost hear the echoes of muskets and the footsteps of those who shaped the colonies’ destiny.
