Did you know that National Homesteaders Day was founded right here in downtown Mount Pleasant?

We're proud to celebrate National Homesteaders Day on August 15, created by Preppin' Mama at The Homesteaders Hub! What started as a local idea has grown into a national celebration of self-reliance, gardening, preserving food, and traditional skills.

Be sure to check out the shared post below to learn more about National Homesteaders Day and join us in celebrating this special day. Congratulations to Preppin' Mama for putting Mount Pleasant on the map in such a unique way!

I can hardly believe I’m typing these words…

National Homesteader's Day is officially LIVE on National Day Calendar. ❤️

What began as a simple dream at Preppin Mama—to help preserve practical skills, strengthen families, and reconnect communities—has become an officially recognized National Day celebrated every August 15.

This was never about creating another holiday.

It’s about creating a reason to gather around the table.
To learn from one another.
To preserve what matters.
To pass something meaningful to the next generation before it’s forgotten.

Whether you live on an acreage, in town, or in an apartment…

Homesteading isn’t a place—it’s a mindset.

Thank you to every person who believed in this vision, encouraged us, shared our posts, taught a class, demonstrated a skill, prayed for this mission, or simply cheered us on.

Today feels like the beginning of something much bigger than us.

Here’s to reclaiming one lost skill at a time.

🏡 August 15
❤️ Join the movement.
🌾 The Lost Skills Revival
