Homeschool Programs
Travellers Rest Historic House Museum is excited to schedule seasonal homeschool programs each year. We encourage homeschool families to purchase tickets in advance when it is an available option, and please click on the registration links below each program description to purchase tickets through Eventbrite! For the convenience of on-line registrations, there is a small processing fee charged by Eventbrite that will be added to your total. This processing fee will not be able to be refunded by Historic Travellers Rest in the event of canceling a reservation and needing a refund. For more information, please see our Education Program FAQs regarding Refunds, Postponements & Cancellations!
In addition to our seasonal homeschool days, we are also able to customize one of our existing field trip options for homeschool groups of 15 or more students. If you have any questions, please contact Andy Blair, Director of Education, Interpretation, and Outreach at 615-832-8197 ext. 15 or by email at andy@historictravellersrest.org
