HomeSchool Extravaganza

HomeSchool Extravaganza Planned at the Anderson County Museum (ACM)

All homeschoolers are invited to attend May 5, 10 a.m. until 1 p.m.

Come one, come all to the exciting Homeschool Extravaganza – an event planned just for homeschooled students. The Anderson County Museum has let history speak for 40 years. This event is planned as an interactive and engaging way for homeschool students to learn Anderson County and South Carolina history.

There will be learning opportunities and engaging docent led tours for all grade levels. The K-2^nd graders will learn about the early fairs and have a fun craft to do. The 3^rd–12^th grades will learn about textile mills, trade, transportation and our military history. In the museum courtyard, there will be games planned and a chance to win prizes! Hot dogs will be  $1.50 including a drink and chips.

The ACM is a collecting museum with more than 26,000 artifacts, there are many things to see and learn about in our gallery. Students can also visit all exhibits at their leisure and learn about the museum research room. The research room is a great place to find information about a variety of topics rooted in Anderson County and South Carolina history for school assignments and projects.

“As an admission free museum, it costs nothing for families to walk in our doors. Part of our mission is educating the public. As an artifact driven museum, our exhibits give students an opportunity to see objects they have never seen before,” said Executive Director Beverly Childs. “This event gives homeschoolers and their teachers a chance to connect with other homeschoolers across the upstate.”

The fun begins at 10 a.m. on Friday, May 5^th until 1 p.m. We do ask for a general headcount if you plan to attend and have a hot dog.
