See, smell, touch, and hear history in action.

Immerse yourself in history, culture, and place during our Hands-On History Days. Offered every Wednesday and Sunday afternoon in July and August, this is a must-visit experience you’ll want to revisit year after year.

Each Hands-On History Day you can expect to experience wood working, blacksmithing, and tours of the Perkins House. Special demonstrations of fiber arts, baking, and ropework and will be sprinkled throughout the summer.
