About this event

Historic Christmas Traditions: Join us for tours of the Polk Home, holiday treats, and hands on activities to learn more about how people in the 19th century celebrated Christmas! 

Our homeschool days are designed to be come-and-go, with stations open until 1pm. We recommend you allow 1.5-2 hours to see all of the activity stations. Our event will continue rain or shine, but we do encourage rain jackets and/or umbrellas in the event on rain as our stations might be distributed across multiple buildings onsite.

Tours of the historic Polk Home begin at 9:30, 10:00, 10:30, 11:00, 11:30, 12:00, 12:30. Space is limited. Meet at the front door of the Polk Home at the start time.
