SUMMARY:Restoration Revealed: Craftsmen at Work
DESCRIPTION:Restoration Revealed: Craftsmen at Work \nStep into living history every Thursday at 2 PM \nWatch master craftsmen breathe new life into centuries-old treasures at WDS Museum’s weekly restoration showcase. From the skilled hands of Mount Vernon’s master carpenter Nathanial Ulfers to rising talent like American College of Building Arts intern Ryan\, witness traditional trades that built America. \nSee history unfold before your eyes: \n\nAn 18th-century loom taking shape timber by timber\nHistoric interiors restored with period-authentic techniques\nThe iconic 1752 Joseph Webb House receiving its new cedar-shake roof\n\nThis isn’t just observation—it’s immersion. Chat directly with our artisans about time-honored methods passed down through generations. Discover the secrets behind mortise-and-tenon joinery\, hand-split shingles\, and authentic colonial finishes that have weathered nearly three centuries. \nEvery Thursday brings something new. Check our social media Thursday mornings to preview the day’s projects\, or simply drop by to be surprised. Whether you’re a history buff\, DIY enthusiast\, or curious about American craftsmanship\, you’ll leave with newfound appreciation for the skills that shaped our nation. \nNo tickets required—just curiosity and a respect for the craft. \nRestoration Revealed: Where the past meets the present\, one careful stroke at a time. \nMade possible with the generous support of the Richard Hampton Jenrette Foundation
