Homeschool Day's 2024
September 23rd & 30th, 2024
About Homeschool Days
Rocky Mount State Historic Site’s seasonal “Homeschool Days” program offers homeschooled children the unique opportunity to participate in our immersive Tour & Craft program. Traditionally reserved for brick-and-mortar school students, this enriching experience is now available to homeschool groups of all sizes.
Homeschool Days provide parents with an exceptional field trip destination that enhances their history curriculum. Students will engage in daily living activities just as our ancestors did over 250 years ago. This hands-on learning experience is designed to give students firsthand insight into the challenges of frontier life in the late 1700s.
