Do you have a homeschooler looking for an educational and fun activity related to history? Well, come meet us at the Octagon Visitor Center for a drop-in program on the fourth Friday of each month!
April 24: Fibers, Twining and Textiles
May 22: Seeds of the Past
Discover the plants that helped sustain ancient communities in eastern North America! In this hands-on program, students will explore the Eastern Agricultural Complex, a group of native plants that people were growing thousands of years ago. Learn how archaeologists know these crops were cultivated, investigate the foods that could be made from them, and plant a few of their own seeds to take home and grow.
Admission will cover a short lesson in a small group learning environment and supplies for a hands-on activity that you can take home with you. This program is geared toward students 5–12 years of age; younger students are welcome to attend but will not be able to participate in the activity without one-on-one aid from a parent or guardian.
