Pack up your family and a picnic basket for an old-fashioned Family Day at Homewood Museum. Fun-filled activities and entertainment will be available for all ages. Make period crafts, take a leisurely wagon ride, take part in a rope-making demonstration or enjoy the live entertainment. Museum tours will also be available throughout the day, along with period crafts and games – including three-legged races, string games and the popular whizzer workshop.

Family Day is free with admission to the museum. Don't forget to bring your picnic blanket!
