Family events in High Point, NC

Homeschool families can immerse themselves in Victorian textiles at Körner’s Folly by trying life as a fiber artist for a day. Drawing on the Körner family’s collection of historic garments and fabrics, the program invites students to examine pieces at close range and learn how they were constructed, worn, and used in everyday life. Hands-on experiences highlight the craft behind common materials. Activities include chances to weave small projects, make yarn dolls, and work with fibers similar to those used in the 19th century. The day also features self-guided exploration of the 22 room house museum, a textile themed scavenger hunt showcasing items not previously on display, historic yard games and toys, and interactive stations set up in the Community Room of the John & Bobbie Wolfe Visitor Center. Families can choose the order of activities and move at a pace that suits them. Bringing a packed lunch is welcome for a picnic on the grounds or in the John & Bobbie Wolfe Visitor Center Community Room.
