Marblehead Museum is bringing back the sights, sounds, and smells of colonial New England at its 2nd Annual Colonial Craft Fair! Enjoy a stroll along the beautiful gardens of the Jeremiah Lee Mansion, meeting skilled artisans and historic reenactors as they demonstrate crafts from a time gone by. Watch how Ipswitch lace was once made by members of the Marblehead Lacemaker’s Guild, or get a hands-on look at colonial firearms with a historic flintlock gunsmith. Chat with members of Glover’s Marblehead Regiment or see 18th-century food being prepared by a Culinary Historian.
From Coopering and Leatherworking to Tinsmithing and Rope-making, there are so many things to see and learn! Join us for a day of fun and festivities as we celebrate the trades of the past and the individuals who keep those skills alive.
