Description
An afternoon of history and fun!
At the Durant - Peterson House: Learn how families worked with wool, flax, and cotton to spin, weave, and stitch as they created textiles in the 1800s.
And watch how talented our young docents are at sewing, weaving, and quilt-making!
At the Sholes School: Learn the craft of paper-weaving and create artwork to take home. Hear how the one-room schoolhouse served the educational needs of the farming community. Use slate pencils to write and draw on old-fashioned slate chalkboards.
A suggested donation of $3/adults and $1/child 18 and under is appreciated.
