Experience a day full of Trades at Old New-Gate!
Historically, the incarcerated individuals at New-Gate (1773) were forced to make nails, shoes, barrels, and more as part of their prison sentence. In honor of the craftspeople at New-Gate, we are hosting a Trades Day with demonstrations and hands-on activities highlighting these important skills. FREE ADMISSION!
Descending into the copper mine will be a self-guided experience for this event, with staff present for history information and support. Please check out our website for more information about the mine.
