Hay Day Family Festivals:
Hay Day is a free
community festival offering families from diverse
backgrounds a time to come together to celebrate
and learn about their community’s history.
|
Twice a year in September and April, Hay
House throws open its doors and grounds for
fun and interesting educational activities
designed to engage a diverse audience in the
exploration of the history of their
community. Hay Day gives Middle Georgia
families the chance to interact with a
national historic site in a way that helps
them relate it to their own personal
experience. In the spring the event focuses
on a theme related to the history or
collections of Hay House; in the fall it
centers on a particular time period. Each
one-day event is built around hands-on
experiences including music, games, dance,
crafts, children’s educational activities
and presentations by people with related
expertise. The emphasis is on interaction
between guests and the past as well as
between parents and children.
Past events
have focused on 1864 (Civil War period),
1929 (Roaring 20s), family heritage from
different cultural backgrounds, The
European Grand Tour and “Hay Day 1905 - A
New Beginning” – a snapshot of life in the
U.S. and Georgia around the 1900s.
