Скачать или смотреть Goschenhoppen Folk Festival 2019

Every August, I participate in a Living History event called the Goschenhoppen Folk Festival, where middle and high school students apprentice for a day or two to a “master” or “mistress” who teaches them crafts that were commonplace in the Goschenhoppen region of Pennsylvania in the eighteenth or nineteenth century. When I started, I was one of those apprentices. Now I’m one of the mistresses showing our apprentices how to make our eighteenth-century clothing.

Every August except this year, because of the plague in our lands. The Goschenhoppen Historians (goschenhoppen.org), who run this event and several others annually, had to cancel the festival this year. We can only hope that it’ll be back again in 2021!

And since I miss the festival, I decided to take some of my photographs from last year and turn them into a short video. The next one will be of the house on the property, where my Dad grew up.
