Homeschool Day At Cracker Country: Pioneers & Cowhunters
Visit for a special day designed for homeschoolers and their families. On Friday, September 6 from 10 a.m.-1 p.m., educational interpreters in historical dress will guide young learners through activities that would have been familiar to a child growing up in a Florida farming and ranching community over 100 years ago.
Try your hand at churning butter, helping with the household chores, making your own toy and taking a lesson in a one-room schoolhouse. Learn some ‘cowhunter’ skills, like how to swing a lasso and what to pack for a long cattle drive.
The cost is $8 per person 4 years old and up, and children 3 years old and younger will be admitted for free. Advance ticket purchase is recommended. This is a very popular event, and there are limited tickets available.
Cracker Country is located at the Florida State Fairgrounds. Parking is free. Visit www.crackercountry.org/index.php/come-visit/when-to-visit/homeschool-events/pioneers-cowhunters.
