Bus Trip to Mount Vernon 18th Century Craft Fair
Saturday September 13 from 8 am to 8 pm
Mount Vernon’s 18th-Century Craft Fair is the most authentic and diverse event of its kind, bringing together distinguished artisans and a dozen entertainers who re-create the amusements loved by early Americans. Working in tin, wood, metal, ceramics, pewter, paper and other media, the Fair’s juried artisans dress in period attire as they demonstrate their colonial-style trade. As visitors shop, artisans practice their craft and explain the historic processes used to make items similar to those George Washington purchased in the 18th century. Each artisan uses traditional methods, steering clear of present-day machinery, staples, glue, and other items commonly used in modern crafts.
Washington's home will also be open for viewing, as well as many of the outbuildings on the estate.
If you haven't been to the new visitor center at Mount Vernon, be sure to allow at least an hour to explore the exhibits and video presentations.

Longwoods One-Room School Program

Field Trip for Schools and Youth Groups
The little red schoolhouse at Longwoods is once again filled with children. "A Day at a One-Room Schoolhouse" is a new field trip option for fourth grade students. The Historical Society of Talbot County has been working with the Talbot School District to create a day in the year 1900 that also meets modern state curriculum standards. Funding for this project was provided by the Talbot County Garden Club.
To schedule a field trip, or for more information, contact the Curator at 410-822-0773 or email to curator
