Learn more about the state you love! The New Hampshire Historical Society offers several engaging programs designed specifically for homeschool learners.

Redcoats and Rebels: Pick Your Path
Recommended for ages 9 to 12
Dates: One Tuesday a month, October 20, November 17, and December 15, 2026
Time: 1:30 to 3:30 p.m.
Join the New Hampshire Historical Society for this history class with a twist! Learners will pick their path through three events in New Hampshire leading up to the American Revolution, discovering from a first-person point of view why it wasn’t always so easy to choose sides in the journey from colony to country.
In this fast-paced class, learners will create their own characters and make a series of choices as they immerse themselves in New Hampshire’s fight for independence from Britain. Each in-person two-hour session focuses on a different event in New Hampshire during the period just before the outbreak of war. Weekly emails will provide learners with optional resources to help them conduct independent research and create materials to add to their character’s backstory.
This drop-off program is recommended for ages 9 to 12 and participants must be independent readers. The registration fee is $60 per learner with a $10 sibling discount.

The New Hampshire Historical Society welcomes homeschool learners for two hands-on workshops that will dive into important themes in state history. Register for one or both!
In the morning session, “New Hampshire Hands at Work,” learners will explore the transition from human-made to machine-made production in New Hampshire and learn all about the history of mills in the Granite State. Kids will be able to try out different methods of making a product and even get a chance to work on a simulated conveyor belt. Register online via Humanitix.com.
The afternoon session, “Immigration and the Granite State,” uses maps, touchable artifacts, and games to help kids learn about the Great Wave of immigration from 1840 to 1924, when thousands of people came to New Hampshire to start new lives. Register online via Humanitix.com.
These programs are recommended for ages 6 to 12. Caregivers can drop learners off provided they sign a waiver or remain for the program. Note that New Hampshire Historical Society staff cannot supervise children during the 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. session break.
The registration fee is $25 per child per session with a $5 sibling discount. Space is limited, and advance registration is strongly encouraged.
