Experience a Day as a Harmonist!
Join us for a special "Springtime" homeschool event on Friday, May 2nd, from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Families will have the chance to step back in time and try their hand at a variety of 19th-century trades while enjoying seasonal activities. Explore the historic village and experience what life was like in the 1830s with hands-on activities, including:
-
Operating the hand-crank bellows in the blacksmith shop
-
Using hand tools in the cabinet shop
-
Assisting with the printing press in the print shop
-
And much more!
Visitors will also have the opportunity to tour the historic buildings and learn about life during this fascinating era.
This unique experience is available to homeschool families at a special educational rate of $5 per child and per adult or guardian. Come immerse yourself in history and enjoy a fun and educational day for the whole family!
