Junior Guides will have an opportunity to experience different colonial crafts. Recent programs have included:
- Textile Crafts (cross-stitching, knitting, sewing a sampler, and making a quilt)
- Washing & dyeing wool
- Whittling
- Basket making
- Soap making
- Traditional lime mortar wall building
- Colonial quill writing
- 18th century games
- Historical topics (18th century livestock, life in a Revolutionary War Camp,
Wash Day, and the study of historical pottery)
The program begins with sewing sessions in April and continues throughout the summer. Each yearly session culminates in a demonstration of what the Junior Guides have learned during Chadds Ford Days and other local events in the fall.
Chadds Ford Village is a charming place to browse in craft shops or to enjoy a meal at the Chadds Ford Inn, which has been serving travelers since 1736.
