Keeping Warm in the Long, Hard Winter: Sheep and Wool!

Find out why sheep were so important in Columbia County(in some towns, there were once more sheep than people!), and how they helped keep residents warm through the winter. Learn about processing wool by trying your hand using a drop spindle, and experience wool fibers while creating a felt bead necklace.

This program is designed for children ages 6-10 and their families.
