MACHE Homeschool Day at Mount Vernon

  November 4, 2011
9:00 AM - 4:00 PM

In partnership with the Maryland Association of Christian Home Educators, Mount Vernon invites homeschoolers to experience 18th-century plantation life during this special one-day event.

At the George Washington: Pioneer Farmer site, families can watch costumed interpreters produce 18th-century goods; learn about George Washington’s innovative farming practices; visit a reconstructed slave cabin; play colonial games; and see animals (like horses, mules, sheep, and oxen).

Elsewhere on the Estate, families can tour Washington’s Mansion; visit our state-of-the-art Museum and Education Center; meet people from Washington’s world; and participate in a special Washington’s Tomb.

Special rates for homeschool families $7 for homeschool students (6-18);$10 for adults; free for children 5 and under.
