American History

Conner Prairie Fishers, Indiana #VisitHC #sponsored

July 12, 2017 By Thaleia 7 Comments

I will be the first one to admit that I totally underestimated the size and scope of Conner Prairie. If I had done my research I would have made sure that we had given ourselves a minimum of 4 to 5 hours to explore the history park. Since we left the house late and had an additional Pit Stop we were not able to enjoy all the things that Conner Prairie has to offer.

Statues of Miami County, Ohio #30Places30Days

May 7, 2017 By Thaleia Leave a Comment

Statues represent a great deal of things including events, historical locations and famous people. When you live in an area so rich in history like we do it is easy to find some statues that help tell the story of your towns past. While driving out and about for the #30Places30Days travel challenge I found two statues right in town that I had forgotten all about. See it’s easy to go through your normal routine or your normal route to work or run errands and forget what unusual things are right in your own neck of the woods!

Right downtown on High Street, near the old Piqua Daily Call which is now Winan’s Chocolates and Coffees headquarters, is a statue located near a sign stating “Veterans Memorial Way”. Big Red and Lil’ Red were the only kids with me for this adventure so Big Red stood by this sign.

Jackson Cemetery Piqua, Ohio #30Places30Days

May 4, 2017 By Thaleia 2 Comments

One of the most historical cemeteries in my area I would say has to be the Jackson Cemetery. It was part of the town that was called Rossville and where the Randolph Slaves from Virgina came and settled after being deemed free. You can faintly see the word “African” above the Jackson Cemetery sign which is beginning to fade over time.

Free Resources for High School Government

April 12, 2017 By Thaleia 3 Comments

Right now Princess and Eldest may only be in Junior High but it’s definitely time to plan for High School NOW with free resources for High School Government. We are still trying to keep our homeschool budget at zero or as close to as possible to show other families you don’t have to be rich to homeschool!

Free Resources for High School Government

So far I have found a handful of free resources for High School Government available online. I bet if you check your local library you will find some books related to Government as well!

Historical Costumes for Kids

August 30, 2016 By Thaleia Leave a Comment

Homeschool families can take advantage of the great options for historical costumes all year long. During the Fall is the best time to buy them at  “end-of-season” sales but it’s always good to see what might be of interest to your child early on. We love buying costumes after Halloween at 75%-90% off for dress-up all year long.

Great Historical Costumes for kids

Last year Princess got a Renaissance Queen Costume so that she could wear it to the Ohio Renaissance Festival which we did not make it to then but plan on going to this year for the first time!

These Historical Costumes for kids would be a great addition to any History or Unit Study. If you are studying Ancient History through a curriculum like Mystery of History then you might want an Egyptian or Roman costume. If you are learning about American History via Prairie Primer or the ABC’s of American History then a Pioneer costume might be better suited.
