Homeschool Friday: Technology Changes in the 19th Century

Historic Columbia's Homeschool Friday program will explore how mass-production and new technology changed the way life was in the 19th century. Students will visit the Hampton-Preston Mansion and Woodrow Wilson Family Home to learn about changes in lighting, see how homes were heated, restrooms were used and how businesses operated and much more. In addition, students will take part in hands-on activities, including looking through a stereoscope, which is similar to 3D glasses. Homeschool Friday is $5 for members, $6 for non-members and $8 for both members and non-members day-of.
