When we say 'Hands-on,' we mean 'Hands-on'

Historic Hudson Valley's kick-off event of the season, Hands-on Heritage Crafts at Van Cortlandt Manor , drew a big crowd April 5-6 looking to go to the work the old-fashioned way. And that they did. We had youngsters churning butter, breaking flax, even tin smithing! Adults got in on the acts, too, more images of that to follow.

That weekend's weather did a bit of a flip-flop. The forecast called for grey skies and general sadness on Saturday, with decent sun and warmth on Sunday. Ended up sorta the opposite. Oh well, either way it was a nice kick-off for the spring season. Were you at the event? Did you churn, smith, or sew anything? Let us know.
