Historic Trade Demonstrations: Sweeping In! Broom Making is Back!

Come and learn about the fascinating history of Connecticut River Valley Brooms. See our 1840s era broom machine and watch a guide make a broom. Learn how the process of broom making changed over time and how the Connecticut River Valley became the broom-making capital of the US in the early nineteenth century.   Thank you to the Americana Corner and the Early American Industries Association for making this program possible

Admission:  Tickets are for the entire museum, which includes the broom making demonstrations, walking tours, house tours, and any special events that are happening that day.
