Hands-On

Explore how wind and water power have been used in the past and continue to be important for our future. Make a wind-powered toy and have fun with people-powered tools as we get our garden beds ready for spring. Enjoy all our usual historic entertainments like old-fashioned games, dress up clothes, play kitchen, weaving looms, one-room schoolhouse activities, and more.

Join us for a celebration of rare, historic and adorable heritage breed sheep, textiles, and wool-processing in New England. See heritage breeds of sheep as well as demonstrations, craft activities, and games.

Starting May 10th, open Saturday and Sundays through June at the History Workshop.

Join 2023 NEA Heritage award recipient Elizabeth James-Perry (Aquinnah Wampanoag) for a workshop on making soapstone beads.
