Friday is Homeschool Day at the
Frontier Culture Museum
in Staunton. Each fall, this popular event offers the opportunity for
homeschool families from throughout the Commonwealth to enjoy hands-on
history offered by historical exhibits and costumed interpreters.
Demonstrating daily routines of early American immigrants who traveled
to the New World from England, Ireland, Germany, and Africa, some
activities that can be observed include cooking, gardening, woodworking,
flax and wool spinning, and school house lessons. Children of all ages
will enjoy the animals who live on the farms -- ducks, chickens, pigs,
cows.
Homeschool Day will take place from 9-5, rain or shine. Bring a lunch
and take advantage of the picnic tables under shelter or outside. Nearby
restaurants include Burger King, McDonald's, Chili's, Cracker Barrel,
Martin's supermarket cafe, Five Guys, KFC, Firehouse Subs, and
Starbucks.
Tickets for the day are $7/adults and $5 for children 6-17. Children under 5 are free. Come join the fun!
