Explore Philipsburg Manor, an 18th-century plantation, and learn firsthand how textiles were made in colonial America. At this classic spring event, visitors can follow the process of textile creation, from the sheep’s back to yarn, experiencing the entire production of turning wool into cloth, watching as sheep are shorn by hand, and learning about dyeing and weaving the finished product—all done just like it was over 300 years ago!
