Each Wednesday & Sunday afternoon
in July & August

Join us for our fan-favorite Hands-On History Days!

It’s history and culture you can see, hear, smell, touch, and taste. Try your hand at shaping wood with traditional tools, feel the heat of the blacksmith’s fire, immerse yourself in 18th century domestic life, and more! Interactive activities and demonstrations will by offered by folks sharing their talents in pottery, wood working, quill work, fiber arts, leather work, baking, cooking, and ropework throughout the summer.

This special programming is offered on each Wednesday & Sunday afternoon in July & August from 2 to 5 pm. Admission is always FREE with donations greatly appreciated.

Hands-On History Days at the Wilson Museum offers interactive, multi-sensory learning experiences for visitors of all ages. Whether you are watching the forge or building a boat, these activities are meant to turn curiosity into a deeper connection with our local history.
