Come enjoy the sights, sounds, and smells of colonial New England at Marblehead Museum’s 1st Annual Colonial Craft Fair! 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. Learn how shoes were made (a major Marblehead industry!) from a Master Shoemaker, or try your hand at copperplate printing with an accomplished Printmaker. Chat with members of Glover’s Marblehead Regiment or see 18th-century food being prepared by a Culinary Historian.
From Ipswich Lacemaking and Coopering 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.
