Step back in time at the annual Fiber Fest at the Oxford Historical Society museum complex in Oxford. This free event for all ages is a rain-or-shine weekend focused on skills practiced for centuries.
See volunteers weaving on the room-size barn loom, spinning, knitting, rug hooking and more crafts. On Sunday, the New England Lace Makers' Guild demonstrates bobbin lace making. Crafters will offer their wares: sweaters, gloves, yarn by the skein, clothes, herbs, brooms and baskets, soap, towels, tea and more. Quilts on display, for sale and for chance.
Weather permitting, see goats, sheep or alpacas sheared for spring. Docents lead tours of the 1750 saltbox house, Twitchell Rowland House Museum. Visit the 1850 one-room Munn Schoolhouse. Try your hand at weaving, spinning and explore more of Oxford.
