Historic Crafts at the Boarding House

How did people spend their free time in the cold winter months during the Industrial Revolution? What about 100 years earlier during the American Revolution? Join rangers from Lowell NHP and Minute Man NHP to try your hand at some cozy historic crafts. Make a candle, create a tin can lantern, and decorate your own band box. When you’re done crafting, head upstairs to learn about how people traded for things they couldn’t make themselves. Visit our website for more information: https://go.nps.gov/qp165j
