We are pleased to announce that this year’s annual North Country Homeschooling History Day will be held at the Lyon Mountain Mining and Railroad Museum! It will take place on Tuesday, May 27, 2025 (exact times TBA, but it is generally a morning to afternoon event). As in past years, the children will have time to give their presentations in the morning, which will be followed by a brown bag lunch, tours introducing them to the history of mining and railroads in the North Country, and a scavenger hunt. We need a rough head count in order to work out the details. Please let us know as soon as possible if you have an interest in coming, and how many people will be in your group! We look forward to seeing you!
RSVP by May 6, 2025 to lilygorgas at gmail dot com with the number of kids and adults you plan to bring!
Be sure to register with the QR code below! May 3, 2025, Westport, NY.

Come join us as Dr. Saikat Chakraborty, Associate Professor of Chemistry at Paul Smith’s College, has offered to give homeschoolers an overview about photochemical reactions as they relate to both photosynthesis and photovoltaics. He will also share some of his own research into creating carbon-free solar fuels from water.
All are welcome! Homeschoolers should have a basic idea of what photosynthesis is and what it does, and what solar panels do, but no complex knowledge will be needed to appreciate the information presented.
March 27, 2025 – 3:30-4:30pm at the Lake Placid Public Library. Families with ages 4-12. Children must be accompanied by an adult.
