Spring Homeschool Day: The History of Florida Homes

Inspired by Marco Island Historical Museum’s special exhibit, The Florida House: Marco Island’s Mackle-Built Model Homes, join us for an architectural journey through time! Enjoy hands-on activities that highlight the design, engineering, and history of what Southwest Floridians have been building and why they’ve been building it over the past 1000 years. From the Calusa mounds, to the Pioneer-era cracker cabins, to the Mid-Century marvels, Marco Island Historical Museum is the perfect setting for this exploration of our built environment.

This program features different hands-on activities and special exhibit exploration geared toward preschool, elementary, and middle and high school students. While RSVP is not required, it is encouraged to ensure enough supplies for students. Call our Curator of Education at 239-252-8242 or go to CollierMuseums.com/Events.

Important note: This is a drop-in style event! It is not required to arrive at 10AM nor stay for the full 3 hours.

About Collier County Museums Homeschool Days:
Three times a year, Collier County Museums hosts a day where homeschoolers of all ages will be able to come for free educational programming geared toward their specific age groups. We will have preschool, elementary, and middle/early high school appropriate activities based on that Homeschool Day’s theme. With a focus on combining history and STEM (we like to call it SHTEM!), Collier County Museums aims to provide your homeschooler with a holistic approach to learning about our region’s history. Homeschool Days will cycle through our five museums, so your family has an opportunity to get to know all of them!
