Homeschool Connection: Secrets of George Washington w/Author Ilona Holland
You probably already know that George Washington was the first president of the United States and a famous general. But you probably did not know that he was also a farmer, scientific thinker, and problem solver. He used science and technology to make life at Mount Vernon more productive. Can you guess how a fan chair, a sixteen-sided barn, a water-powered cup elevator, and a copy press each changed life on the plantation? No? Come and hear Dr. Ilona Holland, award-winning kids' author, tell you all about these innovations. No matter the problem, George Washington often found a remarkable solution.
