On every day they are open there are staff in period clothing going about the tasks of life in the early 1800s. For the most part, it closely follows life in the 1830s so what the staff is demonstrating will vary a bit from day to day and season to season. Generally you will see the blacksmith, Potter, and tinsmith, and often a shoe maker and a Cooper. They usually run a demonstration of all three mills. The farmers will be doing work appropriate to the season. There are women on staff in many of the houses everyday, and they will also be doing everyday 1830s tasks... So in season they will be working in the gardens, milking the cows, demonstrating things like cheese making, butter making, candle making, laundry, baking, cooking meals, sewing, etc. The staff is great - very knowledgeable and engaging. They all have a quick bit to say to each new visitor as they stop by. And if you stop to ask questions, they will happily go into much more detail.
They run the demonstrations everyday along with individuals doing daily chores that you stop and watch and ask questions. You can also go on their website to see the daily schedule.
We saw how they made brooms, candles, cook wear, blacksmith items needed. Call for event & each day of the week schedule of events.
No crafts that I saw. The closest thing to it was the blacksmith walking us through how to make a nail.
