We will be offering two Home School Days this fall on October 11 and October 16 from 1:30 p.m. until 3:30 p.m.

This event will allow home school families to explore the Village at a special educational rate of $5 per child and per parent or guardian. Students will get a chance to visit the buildings, try some hands-on activities, see demonstrations and learn about life in the 1830s. You must register for one of these dates by October 9.

In December, we will be offering two Christmastime for Children Tours on December 13 and December 18 at 1:00 p.m. for Home School families. This tour is designed for young children from pre-school to the third grade. The cost will be $5 per person.
This is an hour and a half program. For the first hour students (parents come along and watch) will get a tour of the Village where they will make an ornament to take home and participate in other activities. The final half hour of the program is a party with grumpy, old Belsnickel. He will be checking his book to see which children are naughty or nice. You must register for these events by Friday, December 6.
