Heritage Craft Day

Join Quiet Valley and the living historians of the 142nd Regiment of Pennsylvania Volunteers as we host a combination Heritage Craft and Civil War Weekend.

This weekend highlights some of the traditional trade skills and heritage crafts of our forefathers, as well as demonstrates the Civil War History of Monroe County. Visitors will be able to see the demonstrators at work. Learn about the techniques involved as well as some of the history behind them. There will be demonstrations such as basket making, bobbin lace, tatting, weaving, quilling, rope making and pottery. Come learn about some of the many historic folk crafts practiced by our ancestors. You may be a future demonstrator “in the making!”
