Additional Information
Get back into learning mode with us at our September 10th Homeschool Day! Participants will try their hands at workshops relating to education in the 1830s, along with other seasonal projects that allow them to get their hands on history. What was schooling like in the 19th century? What did children learn? When did they attend? We will focus on all these questions and more during our first Homeschool Day of the 2021/2022 season.
Home School Days offer you and your family the opportunity to explore the Village and participate in activities. From games, to woodworking, to nature exploration, this is a great opportunity for kids to gain exposure to many aspects of 1830s New England life in an interactive way.
The health and safety of our visitors is our top priority, so this Home School Day will look a little different from past events. All of the following workshops are outside (except where noted), allowing for appropriate social distancing. Participants will have their own supplies, which will be cleaned and sanitized between groups. Register for one of the in-person programs with the Village’s knowledgeable staff or explore the Village on your own using self-guides, scavenger hunts, and more.
Admission and Ticketing
On Home School Day, homeschoolers (ages 4-17) get in at the discounted rate $10 and one adult is admitted per home school youth at the discounted rate of $15. Additional adults above the 1 to 1 ratio are admitted at the full rate of $28. As always, members get into the Village for free.
