Homeschool Day At Cracker Country

At Homeschool Day at Cracker Country, students will learn about the lives of settlers in rural Florida before the turn of the 20th century through hands-on activities that would have been familiar to a child growing up in a Florida farming community over 100 years ago.

Educators in historic dress will be on hand to welcome guests to the 1885 Carlton House, railroad depot, general store, church and more authentic structures. Along the way, young learners will make their own toys, dolls and helpful items for the household. They will also learn to operate an early 20th century printing press and make their own postcard.

Homeschool Day will take place on Tuesday, March 13 from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Activities are designed to capture the interests of students of all ages. Groups can tour at own pace and choose level of participation.

The cost is $8 per person from ages 4-adult. Children 3 and under are free. This event is very popular so advance ticket purchase is recommended.

Cracker Country is located at the Florida State Fairgrounds–Orient Road Entrance where there is free parking.
