Homeschool Days

Farmstead Days                     

Tickets on sale January 30     

Choose from either March 4, OR May 13, 2026               

Join us at Heritage Farmstead Museum for one of our Spring Homeschool Days. Come learn about what life would have been like for an early settler moving out, building up and living on a farmstead.

  • Meet local demonstrators and find out what important craft or skill was needed to settle a farmstead.
  • Try your hand at farm chores including washing laundry, plowing a field, feeding the chickens, and milking Buttermilk the Cow (our mechanical milking machine).
  • Meet the farm animals: pigs, goats, sheep, ducks, turkeys, and Poncho the donkey!
  • Take a peek inside the historic, 1891 Wilson House!
  • Ride the wagon around the 4-acre farm!

Activities open 10am-12pm; grounds close at 1pm

All tickets are non-refundable and non-transferrable.

Free parking on Pitman Drive and east side of 1300 Custer (see map below).
