Upcoming Homeschool Days
 

Hands-on Holiday Home School Day is Friday, December 13, 10:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m.
Experience the “Village” in all its holiday splendor while learning about life in the 1830s. Enjoy holiday stories and themed activities as well as a chance to meet Belsnickel, the German keeper of the Naughty and Nice book. The buildings will be decorated and open for families to explore and tour throughout the day. There will be a variety of demonstrations and holiday hands-on activities throughout the village for families to see and do.

 

Old Economy offers a special letterpress learning opportunity for middle and high school homeschool students during our upcoming Holiday Homeschool Day at no extra charge!

Students will receive direct instruction on the history and techniques of letterpress printing. Utilizing the resources of Old Economy Village Print Shop, students will complete a project from typesetting to the final prints. This informative, active, and intense workshop experience is only for middle and high school students (ages 12-17). There will be two sessions with a limit of eight participants in each session.
