Homeschool students get hands-on history lessons at Patrick Henry’s Red Hill

BROOKNEAL – Toddlers, teenagers and children of all ages wove baskets, spun wool and turned flax into linen at Patrick Henry’s Red Hill estate Thursday. The students were participating in the historic site’s annual two-day Homeschool Living History Days, which give homeschoolers hands-on history lessons about life in the late 1700s.
