Characterized through the intricate beauty of their respective artistry, craftsmen were a centralized point effecting economic and political life in colonial America. As much as was reflected through influence and tradition two hundred and fifty years ago, the Frontier Apprentice strives to secure the craftsmanship of the 18th century in the modern day. Join artisans, tradesmen, and scholars as they gather at Martin’s Station for three days of enjoyment, education and experience.
