Inspired by the donation of handmade lace, embroidery, and dresses by the estate of Helen Krinke, the Shafer Museum will be featuring ladies' home decor, clothing and handcrafted accessories at the museum this summer.  Helen's mother Nora Nickell grew up in the homesteader's cabin that is on the museum grounds!

Demonstrations and hands-on activities on select Saturdays in June, July and August will give you the chance to try your hand at some of these skills - no experience necessary. 

The summer's final hands-on & demontration is coming up!
