The Roswell Convention and Visitors Bureau and the city’s Southern Trilogy historic homes next month will host a Home Schooled Day for students.

The event will take place from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 10. The Southern Trilogy -- Barrington Hall, Bulloch Hall and Smith Plantation -- will feature an open house format during those hours and tours will be available for home school students.

In addition, demonstrations and hands-on activities will occur at all three homes so that students can experience life in the 1800s.

At Barrington Hall, students will be able to relive an escape on the Underground Railroad. Bulloch Hall will feature “A Cherokee Experience — Walk the Trail of Tears,” and at Smith Plantation, students will experience a vegetable dig to learn how crops were grown and harvested.

“Interactive history is the best way to learn,” said Diane Stone with Roswell Convention and Visitors Bureau. “Parents of homeschool students are often looking for different ways to teach history as part of their required curriculum.”

Prices through Sept. 4 are $12 for adults and children; children under six are free. After Sept. 4, prices are $15 for adults and children; children under six are free.

Registration is required. To register and for more information, visit www.visitroswellga.com or call 770-640-3253.
