Homeschool History Days: Love Letter

Introduce students to our nation’s past! Through hands-on programming at Dumbarton House, homeschool students ages 5-12 are invited to “travel back in time” 220 years and explore the early history of Washington D.C. Each program includes an interactive tour of the museum, snack, and an activity. See our remaining scheduled programs below: February 9: Love Letter Celebrate love and family as you learn more about the Nourse family! Learn how the family communicated across long distances 200 years ago and use a quill pen to create your own love letter. April 20: Bygone Games With a scavenger hunt, students will tour the museum to learn what life would have been like for children. Afterwards it’s time to learn and play period games! Make your own toy to take home. Please note, masks are required for all visitors regardless of vaccination status. If cancellation is required due to COVID-19, all tickets will be refunded in full. We also schedule private group programs for a minimum of $40 (e.g. 5 children, 1 adult). Visit our school programs webpage to read about our various programs and register your group!
