Our final Homeschool Day of the season ended with full rooms, curious minds, and lots of engaged young historians. 🇺🇸

From interactive presentations to hands-on activities, it was exciting to watch students and families fully jump into the experience and connect with history in such meaningful ways. A huge thank you to our incredible presenters, volunteers, and families who helped make this season such a success.

Have a great summer and we can’t wait to see you in the fall!
