  • 3rd Annual "A Day in the Life of a Kid" Homeschool Day at Living History Farms

    Wednesday, September 5, 2012

    Living History Farms has saved this date exclusively for homeschool families! Participate in the chores, games, and activities done by children living on a farm over the past 300 years, as you travel on foot from the 1700 Ioway Indian Farm to the 1850 Pioneer Farm, and 1900 Horse-Powered Farm, at your own pace.

    In the 1875 town of Walnut Hill, explore the daily routines at home, school, and work for a child who lived in the late 19th century. Participate in activities at several businesses and homes in town – and don’t be late for a lesson at the schoolhouse!
