Homeschool Day at Ferry Farm

Join us at George Washington’s Ferry Farm on Friday, September 18, for a day of archaeological exploration designed for homeschoolers and their families. Participants will tour the replica Washington House, excavate artifacts from our teaching pits, and mend broken archaeological finds.

Attendees are welcome to enjoy a picnic lunch on our grounds; walk along the scenic Rappahannock River; explore the Ferry Farm visitor center; and complete a variety of self-guided, take-home activities.
