​

Liberty Encounters is multi generational family history education business based in northern Delaware and southeastern Pennsylvania. The chief operator is Aaron Bradford. As a child, Bradford learned that he is a direct descendant from Plymouth Governor William Bradford. After the first Governor of Plymouth Colony died, William Bradford was elected Governor and served in that position for over 30 one year terms. He also twice served as President of the United Colonies of New England.

​

However, Governor Bradford is widely considered America's first historian. He dedicated his book Of Plimoth Plantation to a "singular regard to the simple truth in all things." Completed in 1651, the book chronicles the early history of a band of Christians who voyaged in 1620, "for the Glory of God and the advancement of the Christian faith" to plant a colony in the northern parts of Virginia. The first settlers of Plymouth became known as the Pilgrims. In the 1820, a soaring oration by Daniel Webster at Plymouth Rock gave a greater national appreciation for the example set in embodying the American ideals of faith, freedom, and virtue. Such a strong personal connection had a profound effect upon Aaron and his father David!

​​​​​​​​​​Reviews from Families and Homeschoolers

"We went on the Revolutionary War Savannah Walking Tour in downtown Savannah.  It was wonderful!  We enjoyed it so much.  Aaron was kind, smart, and very engaging with the kids.  The time flew because of how entertaining it was.  The kids were never bored.  I highly recommend giving it a go.  You'll learn a lot and laugh a lot, too!  Thank you for a great time, Aaron!"

​

"Engaging and fun! - Our Homeschool group of close to 30 people (adults and children) enjoyed our field trip today at the Whitemarsh Island Preserve. Aaron is a wealth of information and kept the children as well as the adults engaged. We thoroughly enjoyed our Liberty Encounter! We’re already planning our next one!"

​

"My daughter... is a tough one to impress and doesn't care about history with school and we haven't stopped talking about our field trip."

​

Teachers

"Aaron did a great job with my students.  It is very hard to keep the attention of high school boys, and Aaron did it with ease.  Seeing history come to life was an amazing experience for the students.  An experience I don't think they will soon forget." 

​

Girl Scout Leaders

"Aaron was absolutely brilliant!  My girl scout troop enjoyed every second of our 90 minute tour.  Highly recommend for all!"

​

"As you’re planning your trip to Savannah, I’d encourage you to book a history tour with Aaron Bradford. He was very reasonably priced and worth every penny. His presentation is very interactive. The girls learned about American history during the 1770's (and how it affected Savannah). We marched and sang around the city as we saw monuments and learned about important people and events of that time. Aaron was witty and had a great rapport with the girls. The tour lasted 90 minutes, and it held our sixth graders’ attention the whole time. This was truly one of my favorite things we did on our trip."

​

Heritage Organizations

"...Your presentation was terrific.  You were a one man army!! ...your performance was perfect... thank you for a great performance.  I know our group very much enjoyed it."

​

Tour Guide Operators
