Roswell Homeschool Day Set For Sept. 8

From the City of Roswell: The Roswell Convention and Visitors Bureau and “A Southern Trilogy: The Historic House Museums of Roswell” will host a Homeschool Day for homeschool students on Friday, September 8, from 10 am to 3 pm. Barrington Hall, Bulloch Hall, and Smith Plantation will be open for tours, and demonstrations and hands-on activities will be held at all three house museums so students can experience life in the 1800s. Some of these activities include a journey on the Trail of Tears, seeing a water mill model in action, experiencing the Georgia Gold Land Lottery, quilting, basket making, cooking a corn dish over the open fire and making corn husk dolls.

“Interactive history is the best way to learn,” said Diane Stone, Group & Motorcoach Sales, with the Roswell Convention and Visitors Bureau. “Parents of homeschool students are often looking for different ways to teach history as part of their required curriculum,” she said.
