Homeschooling families are invited to a program on the legacy of John Greenleaf Whittier.

Suggested ages: 6-12

Suggested donation: $10

Theme: The Freeman Memorial Trail

This month we’re taking a short hike along the Freeman Memorial Trail, through the woods and fields around the Whittier Birthplace. At each of the 13 stops along this approximately 1/2 mile trail, we will take turns reading a short section of Whittier’s poetry that describes the scenery. Along the way participants will get to collect leaves and other natural items for the craft at the end of the hike. Please come dressed for the weather and with sturdy shoes for walking over uneven ground. We’ll have sun block and insect repellant available.

Skills practiced in this program: reading, hiking, arts & crafts.
