Academy Alive

Nestled among Maryland’s mountains is St. Joseph’s Academy, Mother Seton’s historic 19th century boarding school. Meet the Seton Shrine’s celebrated Junior History Interpreters – girls ages 8-16 who portray real students of Mother Seton and her Sisters. Jump back in time with stories, music, farm animals, and more.

• Encounter many historical interpreters, many of whom portray actual students from Mother Seton’s time. Don’t be shy: you are encouraged to speak with them, but don’t be surprised if their knowledge doesn’t exceed the year 1818.
• Visit the farm animals from a local petting zoo
• Try your hand at fiber arts
• Learn how to draw with pen and ink
• Enjoy some popular 19th century children’s stories
• Play some early American games with students from St. Joseph’s Academy
