Set in 1776, it explains how George Washington's spies gathered intelligence, passed coded messages and worked in secret; students then form their own spy ring, deciphering clues, cracking codes and uncovering hidden information to solve a mystery. Parents are welcome to stay around the farm park during class. Dress for the weather and bring water. ## Similar picks in Washington, DC - [Smithsonian Sleepover: All-American Road Trip at the American History Museum](https://grassyknees.com/washington-dc/activities/smithsonian-sleepover-all-american-road-trip-at-the-american-history-m--listing-d2e4b62fe151852053af6906) — Oct 30 – Oct 31 · 7:00 PM – 9:00 AM · Smithsonian National Museum of American History · Ages 8–14 · Paid · checked Oct 16.
