Have you been looking
for a quality, hands-on history lesson for your family or co-op? Visit Dallas
Heritage Village for an experience your kids will not forget. Home school
workshops are modeled after Village Academy classes but you pick the day and
time that works best for you.
Home School Workshop Admission
$15 per student
$10 per student for Dallas Heritage Village members
Class fees include supplies, admission to the Village for accompanying family
members and a resource packet about the Living History exhibit theme (March –
June and September – December). We need at least 5 children for a class to be
scheduled, so tell your friends! (The maximum for a class is 15 children.)
Participating adults or siblings can choose to explore the Village on their
own, stay and enjoy the class, or take a separate guided tour for an additional
$5 per adult or $3 per child (ages 4 to 12). Classes last between 2 to 2 ½
hours, guided tours last 1 hour.
To register or for more information, please call or email Melissa Prycer,
