TOMORROW’S THE DAY TO GO BACK TO YESTERYEAR!

Bring the family out to Sherwood House and get fully immersive in preparing wool, weaving, and rolling beeswax candles. Plus, tours of the museum will also be available.

A WORD ABOUT THE WEATHER: there is rain forecast for tomorrow, but don’t let that stop you - there will still be plenty of fun things to do! The crafting will be taking place in the barn, the house tours are indoors, and you can stop by the cottage for some light snacks and take advantage of the 25% off sale at the gift shop! The only thing we will not be doing if it rains are the outdoor historical games.

We look forward to seeing you!

COME TO SHERWOOD HOUSE TO TAKE A SPINNING CLASS…JUST NOT THE GYM KIND 😉😂

Step back in time and see how wool was prepared in Colonial days. Kids can try their hand at carding, explore the art of table loom weaving, and also make their own rolled beeswax candle to take home (no kids? If you’re a kid at heart you can participate too). After crafting, you can enjoy playing with traditional toys and games, like corn hole. Tours of the museum will also be available.

A little history, a little crafting, lots of old-fashioned fun.
