We are pleased to offer some optional hands-on projects during the morning and afternoon
Living History sessions this Fall. Instead of visiting the normal stations,
visitors may register for one of the following tracks. Each participant must be
8 years or older, or be accompanied by an adult. There is an $10-15 fee per
person to cover the cost of materials. As space is limited, be sure to reserve your spot soon! (See registration information
below.)
Leather Journal
Journaling filled a major role in the life of the Colonial
citizen. During the afternoon session, participants will get to stamp the outside of their own
leather journal and then sew it together with leather lacing. All that will be left to do is
to start writing with their new replica pencil!
$10 per person. Offered Thursday morning (9/23) and Friday afternoon (9/24). (Stamps will be available for use but are the property of Vision Heirs.)
