Old Sturbridge Village, Home School Day

Join us for our April Home School Day on Thursday, April 10! Home School Days offer you and your family the opportunity to explore the Village and participate in activities. This is a great opportunity for kids to gain exposure to many aspects of 1830s New England life in an interactive way. During this Home School Day, we’ll celebrate the coming springtime through an exploration of the Village through the lens of science and engineering. How did New Englanders utilize natural resources? What kinds of things were 19th-century people inventing to make their lives easier and more efficient?

Home School Days offer you and your family the opportunity to explore the Village and participate in hands-on activities. Sign up for a workshop or explore the Village on your own using one of our many self-guides and scavenger hunts, available at both Museum Education and the Visitor Center.
