Homeschool Day at Old Sturbridge Village
Thursday, February 10, 2011
On this Home School Day, Come in From the Cold, learn about how people in the early 19th century filled their time during the cold winter months. New England communities slowed down allowing families and friends time to socialize. Some of their favorite activities were ice skating, sledding, storytelling and dancing. Take part in some of these activities and learn about the history of Valentines and watch chocolate being made by hand the old fashioned way.
If time permits, consider making a quick craft in the Hands-on Crafts Center; $5-10 per activity (first come, first served); some age and safety restrictions apply.
