News, foods, fun finds and reviews
Test your skill at different nineteenth-century trades!
Terrific Trades will be a day of fun for the whole family, featuring demonstrations and hands-on activities. Families will be challenged to assemble a wooden bucket or roll a barrel through an obstacle course. Visitors will also be able to observe trained craftsmen demonstrating their trades, including metal-working, stone-cutting, glass-blowing, powder drying and sifting, blacksmithing, and rope-making.
Activities are included in general admission and free to members. Use Hagley’s main entrance off Route 141 in Wilmington, Delaware.
In addition, many venues do not project an end time for their events. In those cases, we selected our best guess, but the duration of your event may vary.
