The Basilica of the National Shrine of St. Elizabeth Ann Seton will host an interactive history experience May 11-12 at its campus in Emmitsburg.

Academy Alive will allow visitors to walk through the halls and talk with the students of St. Joseph’s Academy, Mother Seton’s historic 19th-century boarding school. 

Elizabeth Ann Seton, considered the founder of the parochial school system in the United States, became the first American-born saint when she was canonized by St. Paul VI in 1975.

Guests to the shrine will experience what it was like in the 1800s with the Sisters of Charity at St. Joseph’s Academy at the national shrine through an immersive tour.

Participants in the Seton Shrine’s Junior History Interpreters, girls ages 8-16, portray students of the Sisters of Charity. The interpreters will interact with guests through activities such as spinning wool, journal-making, telling stories, playing games and writing lessons with pen and ink – just as they did in the early 1800s. 

The ticketed experience can be purchased in 20- or 40-minute slots. Tickets are $8 for adults and $5 for children under 18. Group pricing is also $5. Patrons are strongly encouraged to purchase their tickets ahead of attending. 

More details can be found at Academy Alive – Seton Shrine

The Basilica of the National Shrine of St. Elizabeth Ann Seton has a wide range of historical buildings and programs that show what life was like when Mother Seton lived more than 200 years ago. St. Elizabeth Ann’s remains are entombed at the national shrine that bears her name. For more information, visit setonshrine.org.
