Homeschool History Days at Dumbarton House
Introduce students to our nation's past! Through hands-on programming at Dumbarton House, homeschool students ages 5-12 are invited to "travel back in time" 220 years and explore the early history of Washington D.C. Each program includes an interactive tour of the museum, snack, and an activity. There is a minimum of 5 students signed up for a program to proceed.
Cost: $7 per student, $5 per adult.
September 20: School and Fun - What would your school and social life been like if you lived during the Federal Period? Students will learn about their homeschool routine 200 years ago, as well as what they would have done for fun outside of their lessons.
October 11: Art at Dumbarton - A picture is worth a thousand words so during this program students will read art pieces in the house to better understand artistic tools, mediums, and techniques. Students will also be challenged to create their own still life drawings using different artistic mediums.
December 13: Winter Warmth - Students will compare and contrast their experience of winter weather and the Christmas holiday with that of the Nourse family. End by making your very own gingerbread house to take home!
