There are four different stations for the students to experience while at Maplewood. While one group is enjoying the house tour, the other three groups will be participating/observing other activities of the 1800’s such as lawn games (rainy weather will not affect activities), quill pen writing, and music/woodworking. Each rotation lasts approximately twenty minutes, and an old-fashioned bell ringing will signal the time to change stations.

Once the students have visited all of the stations, they could enjoy a visit to quaint downtown historic Lynchburg with its many delightful shops. Maplewood is located just 1.5 miles from the downtown area. Wiseman Park, located adjacent to the square, is an ideal spot for a picnic lunch. To reserve the large pavilion, a charge of $20 is required. For your convenience, we will gladly handle the booking of the pavilion should you so desire. Lunch options include bringing your own sack lunches or ordering in advance from local establisments, such as pizza from the BBQ Caboose (menus can be provided upon request).
