How do YOU craft history?

Two-day event celebrates craft with artisans, exhibits, music, food, and festivities!


Plimoth Plantation's two-day #i{craft}history festival features the best of New England craft, old and new. Stroll through the artisan market in the Henry Hornblower II Visitor Center courtyard and find that one-of-a-kind item hand-crafted by our featured artisans. Visit with the guest makers, inspired by Plimoth Plantation's time and place, as they demonstrate their unique interpretations of traditional 17th-century English and Native crafts. 

At the heart of the event are Plimoth Plantation’s core of talented artisans. Their work is vital to the recreation of the authentic look and feel of the 17th-century worlds of Plimoth and Wampanoag Patuxet. Native artisans make stone, wood and sinew tools, porcupine hair headdresses and hand-coiled clay pots. Other Plimoth Plantation artisans practice historical English trades, and reproduce the objects that the Pilgrims imported from England, such as earthenware pottery, furniture, candles and textiles. 

Additional programming such as a farmers’ market and music will be featured at the event. Learn more at: www.icrafthistory.org.
