Homeschool Days

Homeschool Day Courthouse

Hands-on thematic programs

With such a large homeschool population in the region the History Center offers a unique opportunity to homeschool students. Our homeschool days program provides hands-on thematic experiences focused on our museum exhibits. This program series is designed for Elementary School- age students (ages 6-12) but younger and older siblings are welcome to participate. Our previous programs have highlighted exhibits like 18th Century agriculture, currency, paper making and more! The History Center’s Manager of School Programs formats each season to a different overarching theme. The fee is $5/student and adults are free and must remain with their child during the activities. Scroll down this page for a schedule of upcoming Homeschool Days programs.
