Homeschool History Day: Hidden History at the Dill

Homeschool History Day programs feature a field trip experience, a chance to go through the Museum and an educational activity.

Uncover the Dill Sanctuary’s hidden history using maps, artifacts, census records, and oral histories. “The visitor will find no great plantation house or gun-embellished fort at the Dill Sanctuary today. The history is literally hidden.” As students walk through the property, they will learn of the Indigenous peoples, Revolutionary and Civil War soldiers, plantation owners and enslaved laborers, and tenant farmers that have made the Dill Sanctuary their home.
