Step back in time and experience the past in a truly immersive way with Homeschool History at the Farm Park. This program series combines historical learning with practical, hands-on activities that bring history to life. Each class will cover a different theme from the Farm Park’s history, in which students will gain a deeper understanding of historical practices by actively engaging with the tools and techniques used in day-to-day life. Your child will leave with a richer understanding of history—and a greater appreciation for the simple joys of farm life. This Fall, children will get to enjoy a whole new set of historical themes, so be on the lookout for when they’re announced!
Step back in time and experience what everyday life was like for children growing up on the American frontier! Students will discover what it took to work, play, and help their families in a time before modern conveniences, learning about the chores and responsibilities that were a part of daily life. Through hands-on activities, kids will experience some of those tasks for themselves – from carrying a yoke and bucket and trying their hand at old-fashioned laundry to making their very own corn husk doll. This engaging, experiential program helps students understand frontier life not just by reading about it, but by putting history into practice and experiencing the past for themselves.
This is a drop off program, but parents are welcome to hang around the Farm Park during the class. Please be sure to dress for the weather and bring water.
