An independent nonprofit 501c3 history center.
Funded by the generosity of people like you.
Leave the 21st century behind and step back in time to an era before electricity while taking part in a woodworking class in the 210-year-old Amos Blanchard Barn.
While listening to the hum of a handsaw cutting through air-dried lumber and the sound of a sharp plane shaving curls of wood from a board, pick up a 19th-century plane or router and try your hand at traditional woodworking with expert craftsman Stephen Anthony. Feel the warmth of the wooden tools and the satisfaction of learning an old “new” skill this fall.
This unique course is designed to meet the needs of woodworkers, from the novice looking for an introduction to traditional woodworking skills to the advanced craftsman. With instruction from expert craftsman, Stephen Anthony, students can make a basic, introductory project, such as a footstool or candle box, from pre-milled stock. Novices will learn from the instructor and the more advanced students as everyone gets to use the antique tools and machinery.
