6/16/2018 | Nathan and Olive Boone Homestead State Historic Site | Ash Grove, MO
Nathan and Olive Boone Homestead State Historic Site is hosting "Third Saturdays at the Homestead" in 2018. Explore Missouri's frontier past through a variety of hands-on activities. Programs will be hosted at several locations throughout the site and are appropriate for all ages. All events are free and open to the public.
The June event will focus on the historical skill of rope making. Rope making at one time was an art that was practiced only by a select group of craftsmen. However, simple and affordable machines revolutionized the process by the mid-19th century. Join interpreters for a demonstration of one of these simple machines and try your hand at making a piece of history.
Event times: 11 a.m. - 1 p.m.
