Stratford Hall's Teachers Seminar

The Stratford Hall Teachers Seminar is an annual 3-day seminar for K-12 history educators and includes accommodation at Stratford Hall and travel study to important historic sites like historic Jamestowne, Patrick Henry’s Scotchtown, and elsewhere. Our partnership with Preservation Virginia opens even more exciting historic sites and instructional resources to our participants. 

Stratford Hall invites rising and established scholars to share  their expertise with participants on a range of topics from slavery to early American religious life and spirituality.

Teacher Specialists help participants to translate and operationalize seminar insights for k-12 classrooms. 

2025 Teachers Seminar: Revolutionary Stuff
July 10-13, 2025

Stratford Hall is delighted to announce its 2025 Teachers Seminar, Revolutionary Stuff, a multi-day continuing education event for teachers of history and related disciplines. Hosted by Stratford Hall from July 10-July 13, 2025, Revolutionary Stuff studies the ordinary and extraordinary objects that were both nodes of access to 18th-century revolutionary politics and ideals and sites of contest over those ideals. Even as objects and ideas about them structured identity and resistance, they also shaped hierarchies and social orders of a new nation and national culture. Join us to learn how the stuff of everyday lives empowered and limited continuity and change. Onsite presentations at Stratford Hall from scholars and experts and travel-study to nearby Washington, D.C. will be capped by a workshop focused on translating our insights for the K through 12 classroom.
