Stepping Back in Time

Historic Trades Weekend
Those long ago tradesfolk from the 19th century make an appearance at Old Bethpage Village Restoration in a hands-on showcase of historical trades. Families can experience how everyday goods were made 150 years ago as “tradesmen” show and explain their craft. From broom making to basket weaving, and working with horn to coopering and silversmithing, a wide sampling of items will be on display. Check out demonstrations by a silversmith, basket weaver, wool dryer, broom maker, tinsmith, potter, weaver, someone works with horn and leather, and more. Visitors can learn about the important trades that sustained 19th century communities and even purchase some of these wares.
