There is something for all ages and all levels of interest in history and crafts. More than 125 craft booths and a dozen outdoor performance sites, all within walking distance of each other, offer visitors a wonderful medley of demonstrations, music and food.
The styles range from crafts for everyday living, such as items made from natural materials, to unique one-of-a-kind collectors' items. You'll find coopers crafting casks from wooden staves and blacksmiths hammering red-hot iron. Spinners, dyers and weavers transform wool and flax into fanciful fabrics. Children demonstrate their contributions to the family's life with butter churning and ginger cake baking.
Mountain Craft Days is held rain or shine every year on the first weekend after Labor Day. Onsite parking is FREE, just follow the signs. If weather forces us to close the parking field, a FREE shuttle will be available from hard lot parking. The event takes place outside over gravel pathways. All buildings are accessible by wheelchair or mobility scooter. A limited number of mobility scooters may available for reservation to individuals with special needs. Please call ahead to discuss your needs and / or to reserve a mobility scooter.
