2nd Annual Colonial Craft Fair in Marblehead

Join us for a day of fun and festivities as we celebrate the trades of the past and the individuals who keep those skills alive.

Marblehead Museum is bringing back the sights, sounds, and smells of colonial New England at its 2nd Annual Colonial Craft Fair! Enjoy a stroll along the beautiful gardens of the Jeremiah Lee Mansion, meeting skilled artisans and historic reenactors as they demonstrate crafts from a time gone by.

Watch how Ipswich lace was once made by members of the Marblehead Lacemakers’ Guild, or get a hands-on look at colonial firearms with a historic flintlock gunsmith. Chat with members of Glover’s Marblehead Regiment or see 18th–century food being prepared by a Culinary Historian.

From coopering and leatherworking to tin-smithing and rope–making, there are many things to see and learn!
