We have so many exciting and FREE events happening this September, and we can't wait to see you soon!
Education in the Historical Park
Getting an education is more than “book learning” in school. How to build, craft, and care for things to teach others is a form of education too. Come see our costumed interpreters demonstrate some of the educational activities of the 18th and 19th centuries.
The Forgotten Fight for Freedom
In partnership with High Point Public Library Andrew Lawler, notable journalist and author, will join us at the Museum. Based on a new book, 'A Perfect Frenzy,' this talk will forever change your view of the conflict that birthed the nation. In 1777 and 1776, two groups of Americans squared off against one another, both claiming to fight for liberty. Come learn about the Scottish earl and his Black allies who threatened to take the South out of the American Revolution.
Let’s Craft! Battledores in Little Red Schoolhouse
Battledores were one of the earliest forms of printed material used to teach young children their letters in early America. Join us and make your own to take with you to school! Sensory Friendly: dim lights, calm room, limited people.
