Patrick Henry Resources for Teachers

Patrick Henry Legacy Field Trips

One of the most meaningful ways to learn about the rich legacy of Patrick Henry is to walk in his very footsteps. Fortunately, many of the places where Henry lived, worked, and made history have survived the ravages of war, fire, and time and have been lovingly restored. The Patrick Henry Legacy Program is proud to offer financial support to student groups who wish to visit one or more of these Patrick Henry historical sites.

If you are a teacher, school or county administrator, homeschooler, or a member of an educational association and you are interested in applying for a Patrick Henry Legacy Field Trip grant, please contact Samantha Hagan, Director of the Patrick Henry Legacy Program at Samanthaphc@aol.com or 703-691-2301.

Liberty or Death – A Documentary

As we aim to educate as many people as possible about the life and legacy of our favorite Founding Father, Patrick Henry, the Legacy program recognizes that teachers are one of the greatest assets to our children and the future of our nation.

Recently, the Legacy program was able to assist in funding the production of a wonderful documentary about Patrick Henry and his influence on the course of the American Revolution.  Filmed on location at St. John's Church in Richmond, VA - the site of the Second Virginia Convention -  Liberty or Death tells the story of Patrick Henry, the Virginia Colony, and the great debate about whether colonists should take up arms against British tyranny. The hour long program, which has recently aired on public television stations around the country, culminates in a rousing re-enactment of Henry's moving "Give me Liberty or give me death" speech. Through the generosity of our donors, we are now able to offer DVD copies of the documentary to educators -absolutely free of charge or obligation.

If you are a teacher, school or county administrator, homeschooler, or a member of an educational association and you are interested in receiving a copy of Liberty or Death, please contact Samantha Hagan, Director of the Patrick Henry Legacy Program at Samanthaphc@aol.com or 703-691-2301.

If you are not an educator, but you would like to purchase a copy of this educational documentary, you can do so via the
St. John's Church Foundation.
