Makers on the Mountain
A series of demonstrations of historic skills and crafts in our Historic Park.
Offering hands on opportunities for visitors to learn, ask questions and even lend a hand.
Catch our talented Historic Park staff members and volunteers in the act. Learn how things were done in the 1800s and maybe even lend a hand. Have questions? Our interpreters are happy to share information and answer questions about what they are doing along the way. Although the skills demonstrated are from the past, many of them have modern applications too.
