Junior Historian Camps at the William Root House offer children a chance to embark on a journey back to the 19th century! Junior Historian Camps are $60 per child per camp.
Pioneer Camp - June 3-4, 2024 from 1pm-4pm
What was it like to live on the western frontier in the 1830s and 1840s when Marietta was first founded? Campers will learn essential 19th century skills like how to churn butter, sew on a button, and write with a quill pen. Students learn about the importance of the railroad, how to sit for a photograph, and demonstrate their best manners and etiquette during a garden tea party while wearing period clothing.
Designed for students ages 5-10.
Bees and Botany - June 17-18, 2024 from 10am-1pm
Junior Historians will learn all about plants and pollinators like bees and butterflies while spending time in the Root House’s historic gardens. They’ll learn to tell the difference between ornamental, medicinal, and edible plants, and learn how to care for plants from Master Gardeners while creating their own plant field guide. Junior Historians will spend the majority of the day outdoors during this program, so please be sure to wear sunscreen and/or hats. Designed for students ages 5-10.

We’ll conclude with a short walking tour of some of Marietta’s important historical landmarks located near the Root House.
