One beloved example is the corn husk doll—a handcrafted figure made from the dried leaves of a corn cob. At Quiet Valley\, we demonstrate how these traditional dolls were made using time-honored techniques passed down through the years. Guests can watch as a plain corn husk is folded\, tied\, and shaped into a charming doll\, reflecting the resourcefulness of early American families. This hands-on activity offers a glimpse into the everyday life and imagination of children in the 18th and 19th centuries. \nDate: Monday\, September 1Time: 10:00am – 3:00pmFee: Included with tour admission
