During our Homeschool Days, students will discover the rich history of Fort Hunter in a series of 40-minute programs about the people that once called this park home. While Homeschool Days are geared towards students ages 7 through 12, we will do our best to accomodate younger/older children.
One chaperone may attend for free with each paid student admission. Due to the popularity of the event, day-of admissions are not accepted.

When you arrive at the park, please report directly to the Centennial Barn to sign in and to receive your schedule for the day. At the time of registration, please indicate if there is another family you would like to be paired with for the day. While we do our best to accomodate this request, we can not guarantee all requests can be fulfilled.
Please note: All registrants should bring a bagged lunch with them to the program. There are no concessions/cafeteria. Children must have a chaperone with them during the program. Children may not be dropped off/picked up for this program.
