The Roswell Convention and Visitors Bureau and “A Southern Trilogy: Roswell’s Historic House Museums” will host a Homeschool Day for homeschool students on Friday, September 7, 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 visiting the blacksmith, digging for vegetables, churning butter, drawing water from the well, and learning how natural fibers were turned into finished textiles.
“Interactive history is the best way to learn,” said Diane Stone, Meetings and Group Travel Manager, 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.
