September 7, 1963—the day the Football Hall of Fame was created. The same day, sixteen years later, ESPN debuted on television. Join us to learn about South Carolina’s rich sports history, from horse racing to football, and how it has impacted the state.

Each month’s Homeschool Friday program is from 10 - 11:30 a.m. and includes hands-on activities while students learn and explore different themes and historic sites with Historic Columbia. Homeschool Friday programs are designed for students of elementary and middle school age levels. This program is open to families and homeschool groups of less than 10 students. For larger groups, we recommend arranging a separate visit to explore that month's topic. Each program begins at the Gift Shop at Robert Mills, located at 1616 Blanding Street, unless otherwise noted. Visit HistoricColumbia.org to learn more or to register.
