Living History Day with the Williamstown Rural Lands Foundation
Saturday, November 1st, 11:00 am
Do you enjoy working with hand tools? Are you interested in preserving our cultural history? If so, we invite you to join the WRLF and the Williamstown Historical Museum on Saturday November 1st at Sheep Hill in this hands-on project to restore an antique horse-drawn work sled donated to the WRLF by Henry Flynt. These sleds were used to bring logs and firewood and sap collection barrels out of the woods in the winter and are an important part of our local heritage. We hope Mr. Flynt will be on hand to give us a brief history of the sled.
Art Evans will lead the restoration of this local artifact.
All are invited to share in a light lunch, and to watch a film called Ben’s Mill, about the construction of a similar sled in Vermont in the 1970s.
