Build a skill 1850’s-style! Historic Westville is offering children ages 12-18 a series of workshops that will teach popular skills from the past while using period tools and techniques. Each workshop will provide a foundation in a craft so the student can learn and appreciate the art of master craftsmen and products before technology and mass production was introduced.
Each participant will complete at least one project they can take home and show off. Our instructors will be in period costume, feel free to come dressed in 1850’s attire . . . or not.
