The Award-winning Waterford Homes Tour & Crafts Exhibit Returns
for its 66 Year
October 2, 3 & 4, 2009
10 am to 5 pm
“The
proceeds from the fair are used to carry out the Foundation's
mission of education and preservation”
155 artisans, many of national recognition,
will demonstrate techniques of traditional craftsmanship.
Federal brick houses, spacious Victorian
homes, simple Quaker buildings and small log structures, barns,
Civil War and Quaker cemeteries, an old mill and a one-room schoolhouse
are open during the Fair.
Three floors of juried handcrafts for sale in a restored
brick mill. Vintage barns transformed into galleries for
paintings, sketches, photographs and dried flowers. The Country
Store offers homemade breads, cookies, handblown glassware and
the Waterford tote bag.
A Revolutionary War militia camps in
Waterford. Fife and drum corps march through the narrow streets. Civil
War soldiers reenact a past battle. And there will be music
everywhere—string bands, troubadours, barbershop,
gospel, symphony, folk, traditional.
The Fair is a magical place for children!
Many of our crafts demonstrations will especially delight children
who might help make a pot or a special bookmark, be enchanted
by a magician or mesmerized by a mime, or ride a country wagon
filled with hay.
Tickets:
Advance tickets may be ordered by mail, phone or online at the
price of $13 per person from August 18 through September 22. Advance
tickets may also be purchased through Thursday, October 1, at the
