Valley Forge Homeschool Day - Afternoon Session

 What is Homeschool Day?

Homeschool Day is a free two-hour event hosted and coordinated by Valley Forge National Historical Park with the help of friends and partner organizations. The morning session runs from 9 AM to 11 AM, and the afternoon session runs from 12 PM to 2 PM.

Each session features the same hands-on activities and programs about science, art, American Revolutionary War history and the history of the early iron-making industry.

Homeschool Day is geared towards homeschool families with kids between the ages of 5 and 15, though it is also open to the general public.

Plan Your Homeschool Day

Event parking is located in the lower lot near the Visitor Center at Valley Forge. You'll walk 1/4 mile from the parking lot to the event location where stations will be set up along North Outer Line Drive and at the log huts at Muhlenberg's Brigade (stop #2 on the Encampment Tour).

In the event that the main event parking near the visitor center is full, overflow parking is available at the Chapel parking lot. A shuttle will carry you from the Chapel parking lot to the event location and back at the end of the event.

Please wear closed toe shoes. Some of the stations will be set up in the recently mowed meadow where there could be some small sticks or grasses that could poke sensitive feet. Also, if you would like to participate in the Historic Tool Station, closed toe shoes are required.

If you are planning to make a day of the event and pack food for a picnic, please carry out your trash.
