Our guilds study, practice, and teach 19th century crafts and trades. Throughout the year, they sponsor workshops, meetings and field trips. Guild members support the educational mission of the Historical Society by demonstrating their skills at public events. Members share their knowledge and experience with our Youth Interpreters. All of our guilds welcome new members. You must be a member of the Newark Valley Historical Society in order to join a guild. Contact us for more information about joining guilds. Shuttles and Spindles Guild Open Hearth Cooking Guild If you enjoy cooking, or just learning about it, the old-fashioned recipes section is another area of interest. Blacksmiths Guild Woodwright Guild The Woodwright Guild is dedicated to the crafts of woodworking
and timber framing. Opportunities are offered to learn about the care
and use of antique woodworking tools. Guild members will played an
important role in the reconstruction of the Herrick
Barn, a pre-Civil War timber framed structure. Workshops were
scheduled to prepare timbers for the Herrick Barn frame. Our guides offer informal tours on summer weekends and work
with school groups during May, June and September.
Old Hickory Long Guns The Jane Bement Arts Guild for Fine and Decorative Arts This new guild will focus upon the romantic revival of the pastoral arts inspired by our museum grounds, architecture, costumes, collections and poetic valley surroundings. Let’s renew our respect for and connection with nature much as did our ancestors. All levels of experience are welcome. Contact the Society for upcoming events and workshops. |
