ROPE MAKING

Rope has been an important tool for thousands of years, long before factories and machines existed. In this hands-on activity, participants will learn how rope was made in the past using simple tools and teamwork. Participants will twist and spin fibers together to create their own rope, discovering how strength comes from many strands working as one.

As we work, we’ll talk about the history of rope and the many ways it was used in daily life, including its role in rope beds during the 1700s and 1800s.
Participants will get to take a piece of the rope they helped make home with them, giving them a tangible reminder of this essential historical skill.

$13 per Participant
