Join the Daniel Boone Homestead Associates for their fall basket making workshop led by Vicky Heffner. The workshop will take place in the Wayside Lodge at the Daniel Boone Homestead. This workshop’s featured project is a Fort Boonesborough Basket. Participants will reproduce this basket woven by the resident basket weaver at Fort Boonesborough in Kentucky using material fashioned from a tree. The reed was most likely dyed from natural materials like goldenrod, red beets and walnuts, procured from the resident weaver of the fort. This basket will look attractive hanging on your front door or any wall in your home, and a variety of colored reeds will be available to choose from. This basket is great for a beginner weaver, and a more experienced one can add extra touches to make it more difficult.
Registration is required for the workshop and a form can be obtained by emailing us at [email protected]. Daniel Boone Homestead Associate Members $50 and Non-Members $60. Checks can be made out to the Daniel Boone Homestead Associates and mailed to: Daniel Boone Homestead Associates, 400 Daniel Boone Road, Birdsboro, PA 19508. Space is limited to 15 participants. Please register by November 9, 2025. All proceeds go to support the Daniel Boone Homestead. Participants are asked to bring the following items if you have them readily available (extra items will be on hand if needed): Bucket, towel, 10 spring clothes pins, ruler or tape measure, old pair of scissors, and a flathead screwdriver.
This program is funded and provided by the Daniel Boone Homestead Associates.
