Hi Dorrie,
Great questions. Cost information can be found on their flyer here:

I’m guessing that you pre-register with Claire. Her phone and email are listed above. I would give that a try.
Best,
Sienna
The Homeschool Harvest Day at Historic Deerfield sounds great.
I wanted to pass it on but I noticed the cost wasn’t listed. How much is it?
Do we preregister with the contact person then pay at the door?
Thanks, Dorrie
