A History of Thanksgiving Homeschool Program

A History of Thanksgiving for Homeschoolers
Wednesday, November 19, 2025,
1 PM - 3 PM

Discover how Thanksgiving transcended time, place, and culture to become the uniquely American holiday celebrated today. Try old-fashioned cooking, talk with costumed roleplayers, and make a Victorian charity basket. In small groups guided by a museum educator, participants find the common themes of this holiday over four centuries: charity, gratitude, and the celebration of family and community. Designed for children ages 6-12. Those ages 6 to 8 years old must be accompanied by an adult. 9-12-year-olds can participate without an accompanying adult.

Price: $15.00 for first student, 10% off each additional student.
