John Chads House

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.
