WanderListen American Revolution Collection

American Revolution Virtual Field Trips

Explore the American Revolution through app-based virtual field trip lessons with audio narration, mapped stops, historical visuals, teacher guides, worksheets, and self-grading quizzes.

This collection currently follows eight major Revolutionary War turning points, from the Boston Massacre through Yorktown. More WanderListen virtual field trips will be added over time, including national parks, state history tours, and additional U.S. History topics.

What makes these virtual field trips different?

Many virtual field trip resources are slide decks, picture walks, or lists of videos. WanderListen field trips are designed as guided app lessons. Students move through mapped historical stops, listen to narrated context, examine images, and complete classroom-ready activities that help them connect place, evidence, and historical cause and effect.

Each product is built to save teacher planning time while giving students a more immersive way to understand history.
