2022 HFPA Workshops
Step back in time and learn hands-on how 19th century craftsmen applied their trades! Harpers Ferry Park Association partners with park rangers and contractors skilled in historic trades to offer these unique experiences for the public. Spin sugar into beautifully sculpted candy, echo 19th century blacksmiths by clanging hammer to hot iron, or bake a pie the 1860 way in a wood or coal stove.
