Homeschool Day: Recipe for Success

October 14, 2020 @ 10:00 am - 11:00 am

What does it mean to ration something? Why was this so important during WWII? Discover how WWII encouraged people to try new foods, grow their own crops, and learn new skills. Then, bake a WWII-era ration recipe with your family! To explore rationing further, join us in a live virtual workshop to look closely at items from WWII, take a virtual tour of our new exhibition Fighting on the Homefront: Propaganda Posters in WWII from the Detroit Historical Society, and create your own propaganda poster!

This workshop is designed for children 8-11. Click here for more information and to register. Enrollment is limited and families must pre-register. Full, non-refundable payment via credit card or check must be made at the time of registration to reserve your child’s place.
