Children's Heritage Day at Foxfire

Where can your child go to forge their own hook with a blacksmith, learn how to make their own handmade broom, use a drawknife and shaving horse to create a walking stick, twist twine into their own handmade rope, learn how to play with a Gee Haw Wimmydiddle, a Button-on-a-string, marbles, Kick the Can, Hide the Hankie, and make their own climbing bear toy? AT FOXFIRE!

The Foxfire Museum and Heritage Center is offering another Children's Heritage Day, for children ages 7-12, on Saturday, July 25 , from 9am-2pm - Rain or shine!
