Hear their stories and discover how these women warriors lead armies
to victory at a time when men usually ruled the battlefield.

Our popular OverKnight program is an interactive parent-child adventure perfect for youth groups, scouts, and school groups studying the Middle Ages and the Renaissance.
Spending the night at Castle Higgins is an exciting enrichment opportunity, especially appropriate for children in grades 1 through 6.
