Homeschool Yo Kids Expo! Morristown, NJ, May 24
Join me at the Homeschool Yo Kids Expo in Morristown, NJ on Saturday May 24, 11am-2pm.
I will be one of the speakers at this event,
and will also offer bookmaking for children (all materials supplied freely) at my table where my books will be available.
Bring your homeschooling questions!
Morristown is a 35-minute drive from the George Washington Bridge in NYC, and is a great field trip destination. If you go to the Expo, consider visiing one or more of the following places, many with free admission.
Explore evidence of the Revolutionary War, at George Washington’s Headquarters and Jockey Hollow, the site of a large Revolutionary War military encampment. Search for more Revolutionary War plaques and sites around Morristown.
Experience life like it was over 100 years ago at the Fosterfields Living Historical Farm, with farm animals, vintage cars, a picnic area and more.
Discover the birthplace of the telegraph and learn about Samuel Morse at Historic Speedwell.
Just outside Morristown in Basking Ridge, is the Raptor Trust, a bird zoo and hospital in the forest. This was one of my kids’ favorite destinations.
Nearby is the Great Swamp Wildlife Refuge, with trails (some with bird blinds that make for excellent bird watching), and an Education Center. Some trails near the Helen C. Fenske Visitor Center were created for kids.
Bring a picnic or eat in an historic restaurant (there are several). Notice signs that say “Washington slept here,” many which may be true!
