Colonial Sugar on Snow

Colonial Sugar on Snow was an absolutely wonderful experience, very well worth the drive. I would definitely recommend keeping it in mind for next year. The list of learning opportunities was extensive:
-soap making
-dipping candles
-making chocolate
-making brooms
-a foot operated lathe
-carving
-throwing pots on a wheel
-colonial eyeglasses
-making flax into linen
-basket weaving
-butter making and the colonial kitchen
-colonial games
-trying on colonial clothing
-colonial domestic medicine
-fiber dying
-spinning wool
-spoon carving

I'm sure I've forgotten some things. It was a wonderful experience, and my children are still talking about the kids whom they met, and seeing them next year.
