SPECIAL EVENTS

 

Old Florida Museum holds the following events annually.  If you would like to be added to our email list to receive updates as new events are announced, please send an email to info@oldfloridamuseum.com with "Mailing List" in the subject line.

Homeschool Program Day

Fall 2010's Homeschool Day will take place on Monday, September 27.  Registration is now open!  Click here for more information.

This event was created specifically for homeschooling families.  The Homeschool Program Day gives homeschooling families an opportunity to participate in our guided programs without having to worry about group minimum requirements, while still having the flexibility to learn at their own pace that so many homeschoolers desire.  This event was first held in fall 2006 and has become more popular every year!  It typically takes place on either the last or second to last Monday in September. 

Families are invited to visit the Old Florida Museum for a semi-guided tour of all 4 of our program areas.  Guests receive an information sheet to lead themselves through the museum at their own pace, learning about each time period as they go. Hands-on activities are available to try in each area.  Costumed guides are stationed in each area to provide further information, answer questions, and demonstrate and supervise additional activities. 

Reservations are required for Homeschool Program Day.  Participants under the age of 18 must be accompanied by an adult.  Information on dates and session times will typically become available about 8 weeks prior to the event. 

 

Halloween Festival

Our first Halloween Festival, held in 2009, was such a success that we're adding it to our list of annual events!  Old Florida Museum opens its doors to all brave enough to enter.  Activities include spooky story telling from visitors from the past, costume contests, games, local arts and crafts vendors, prizes, and of course candy!
