Homeschool Day at Historic Kenmore

Join us at Historic Kenmore on Friday, May 8, 2026, for an engaging day for homeschoolers and their caregivers that connects the past and present while building skills in historic inquiry. Participants will discover what life was like in 18th-century Virginia during its turbulent transformation from British colony to American state, 250 years ago in this momentous year. Students will gain a deeper understanding of the diverse individuals in Fredericksburg who helped forge American Independence.

Attendees are welcome to enjoy a picnic lunch on our grounds, play colonial games, explore the Historic Kenmore Visitor Center, and complete a variety of self-guided, take-home activities.

Students must be accompanied by a participating adult.
