Homeschool Day at the National Canal Museum

Join us on September 25th from 11:30 to 3 PM for Homeschool Day at the National Canal Museum, 2750 Hugh Moore Park Road, Easton, PA 18042. To meet the needs of our local homeschool communities, we are offering our first official Homeschool Day at the Museum.  The museum will be open to the public and run on its regular schedule. However, between 11:30 and 3:00 we will have special programming set up throughout the museum specifically for homeschool families. These activities include: * Join our educators at the mule harnessing, aqueduct, or canal table for some guided learning activities * Pick up a Grab and Go lesson to help guide you through specific exhibits throughout the museum * Join our Boat Crew for a special Meet the Mules session between boat rides * Play old-fashioned games outside * Make a fun mule hand puppet * Learn how to blow a conch shell like a canal captain * Build your own tinfoil boat and race it with other learners on our water table while learning about friction and buoyancy. * Take a nature scavenger hunt on your walk up to the lock tender house and see how our locktender lived in the early 1900s All activities are geared toward elementary-age students. Tickets include a ride on our mule drawn canal boat. Seats are limited so reserve your time to ensure a seat on the boat. While visiting, plan some time for the park and playground. We suggest coming early and packing a picnic lunch. We also have boats and bikes you can rent to add to your day. This day does involve extra programming and staffing so regular rates do not apply: Cost for the day: Adults $13 (includes $2 discount of group rate) Children 3-15 – $12 Ticket Sales are non-refundable Ticket website: https://store.delawareandlehigh.org/product/homeschool-day-at-the-natio… If you have extra adults who may not want to ride the boat, there are cheaper rates for museum admission only. Those tickets are available at the door. This does not apply to the children as the extra costs for the day are all associated with the museum activities.  Email [email protected] for questions or more information.
