The American Village is grateful to educators around Alabama and the Nation who have brought students to this unique campus. Tens of thousands of students visit our campus annually where they discover the power and drama of America's journey for independence, liberty, and self-government. It is here that students have the opportunity to participate in a classroom laboratory where they can recreate and renew what Washington called "an experiment in self-government",
