Excellent article in the latest edition of this free delivered magazine on The Hancock House in Lower Alloways Creek, NJ, also the site of many great re-enactments and events, my favorite being the spinner and weaver who brings hand spun yarns dyed with natural ingredients and shares her noted expertise in the processes of textiles in the Colonial period.  She also teaches classes in these processes, including spinning at Wool Bearers in Mount Holly.
I always wanted to learn this but I find my life, time, and money cannot stretch any further than I have already stretched them!

Hancock House, built in 1734,  is on the State Register of Historic Places and is open for tours.  It is a beautiful building, but, more importantly, it was the site of a historic massacre during the Revolutionary War.

Happy Trails!
I hope with my help, you need never have a day where you say, "I don't know what to do today."  All you have to do is look on this blog and resolve the issue.  Keep scrolling till you find something that strikes your fancy.
