About This Activity
Dive into the history of the people who walked the ground beneath your feet. This is a site specific exploration of the people, economy, and ancestors who were here hundreds of years ago. In this class we will dive deep into the people who lived near and around where we are taking classes at The Homeschool Experience on Lake Wheeler Rd. Historic Yates Mill is only a short distance from THE. We’ll learn about the history of the mill and the people who worked there. And organize field trips to go see the mill.
