Just for Nice - Pennsylvania German Folk Art

Fall, Winter & Early Spring

Life was hard for the early settlers in Pennsylvania, but still found time to create many types of folk art. This program talks about scherenschnitte, fraktur, tinwork, decorative painting on furniture, and decorative fabrics. If desired, we are able to bring two different folk art projects that your participants would be able to do at a later time. This program will last between 1 to 1¼ hours.

Hands-on History Programs are an exciting, interactive way to learn history – Throughout the fall, winter and early spring, Quiet Valley offers a number of Hands-on History Programs for any group. These programs cover a variety of topics relating to life on an early Pennsylvania German farm.
