Homeschool Series

The James Madison Belle Grove Foundation is excited to announce our Homeschool Series. These hands on classes will explore a variety of topics that come from the history and nature of Belle Grove Plantation. Classes will be conducted both inside and on the outside grounds of the mansion. Students will receive a pin of completion after every class they attend to help remember the day.
