The annual old fashioned spelling bee and ice cream social is happening on Labor Day from 10 a.m. to noon at the Freeman School. You’ll be able to complete games and activities that school children would have played back in the homestead era.

There is no entry fee required to participate in the spelling bee or ice cream social, and trophies will be awarded for the first and second place winner in each age category. Registration begins at 9 a.m.

You can stay up to date with events by following Homestead National Historical Park on social media.
