Join us for hands-on learning!
Welcome homeschool families!
Join us in the Historic Village or Nature Center for hands-on learning during “homeschool days” throughout the year. On these set days we offer highly discounted rates for homeschool families, co-ops, and groups. See below for upcoming programs.

Maple Homeschool Festival
Friday, March 20
Learn how Upstate New Yorkers – including Indigenous communities – made maple sugar in the 1800s and the science behind this fascinating process.
Option for homeschool families: sign up for a guided tour of the Maple Trail and take a deep dive into sugaring. A museum educator will lead groups through the woods and the Sugar House for a full sensory experience. This optional, guided tour takes place ONLY at the Nature Center.
The festival is open to the public, but is not a scheduled school field trip day. We recommend exploring the Historic Village in the morning and joining for a tour of the Nature Center in the afternoon.
Mark your calendars!
