Long before the billion-dollar stadium deals and high school "Friday Night Lights" became a southern religion, North Georgia football was a brutal, hard-nosed industrial byproduct. Students will learn about Gainesville’s legendary 20th-century "Linthead Leagues", the corporate-funded athletic empires of the New Holland and Chicopee Mills, where factory workers became hometown heroes. Football is more than simply entertainment. We’ll look at football as a historical window into economics, physics, and social change that created community structures that our local high schools eventually inherited.
We design our homeschool days to provide enrichment and learning activities for a wide range of ages. Some will appeal to kids 5-10 years of age, while others we format for our older students, 11-18 years of age. That said, you know your student best. Some younger children find our interpreter and guest speaker presentations entertaining and informative, while others find their attention wanders. If some of the presentations do not hold your student's attention, our learning stations remain open throughout the event, as do our exhibits.
