I will be demonstrating spinning, on both spindles and spinning wheel, with the Ye Olde Lebanon Towne Militia.

I always have a variety of spinning tools, as well as different types of fiber available for viewing (and touching, of course!!).

Leffingwell House Museum invites you to Midsummer Living History Day on Saturday, August 13, 11-3pm. The Lebanon Militia will be on site with their skilled crafters, as will Big Bear Trading Co. who can fulfill all your colonial needs! In addition we will have a special exhibit, from our Archives, of two personal Whaling Journals, actual accounts written on Whaling voyages. In addition, visitors can talk with Mary Brewster, wife of the captain of Whaling ship Tiger, who went a-whaling with her husband in 1845. Learn about life aboard the ship which was written in the journal she kept during the voyage. See another journal from the same voyage, which was written by a young seaman from Norwich!! Men from CT went down to the sea, as did some courageous women!
