About this Event

Join master spinner and weaver Eddon Boyd from the Brick Street Handspinners to discover the history of the drop spindle—a crucial tool for producing clothing and textiles before spinning wheels became common—and create your own yarn.

Discover the skills that built a nation! This summer, the Rogers Historical Museum invites young historians and creators to celebrate America’s 250th anniversary by exploring the heritage crafts of Colonial America. The museum is thrilled to announce its "Summertime Fun at the Museum: Heritage Crafts" series, offering free, hands-on workshops that bring colonial-era skills to life.

Designed for children ages 6-12, this four-session series combines engaging history lessons with interactive, take-home crafts. Participants will explore the art of daily life in early America, learning about the ingenuity and creativity required before modern technology.

Parents/guardians must accompany children at all times. Registration is required for children only. 45 minute sessions.
