Sketches in History | The Midnight Ride

The 15-Minute History Podcast team is bringing you a new segment, just for kids, called Sketches in History, where history isn’t just a story—it’s an adventure. Join Lottie Archer, as she dives into her extraordinary notebook where sketches from history come to life.

In this episode, she travels to dark night on April 18, 1775. In the distance, she hears a horse fast approaching. Its rider has a special message for the inhabitants of the town! Your kids will learn about bravery, agency, and the beginning of the American Revolutionary War.

Listen and subscribe to the 15-Minute History podcast to hear Sketches in History every other Thursday. Got a favorite historical moment? Share it with us at 15minutehistory@gmail.com, and it might just make its way into the notebook!

Until then, remember that history is just a page away.
