Shaw House Heritage Fair and Festival
Details and Location Saturday, October 9, 2021 10 am to 4 pm Shaw House |
Join us at our annual Shaw House Heritage Fair and Festival. A raffle ticket for purchase will be available entitling each person to a prize drawing. The nonprofit Moore County Historical Association (MCHA) holds this all-day event, rain or shine, as a fundraiser. The fair offers something for the whole family, and there will be vendors to browse and shop, plus food available for purchase.
There will be live music throughout the day along with demonstrations of old time crafts such as basket weaving, and re-enactors. There will be crafters there for pottery, needlework, and blacksmithing. Weavers from the Sandhills Handweavers Guild will be there to teach children how to weave along with other children’s activities, and there will also be an old time photo booth. There will also be tours of the 1820s Shaw House, and the Sanders Cabin and Garner House, both 1700s era settlers’ cabins on the site with the Shaw House. The MCHA owns the houses and raises money through memberships, donations and fundraisers such as the Shaw House Fair, to maintain these structures that are also used for free group and individual tours. The Shaw House gift shop is a great place to purchase holiday gifts such as custom vintage soaps, which are a very popular item. The shop has a large collection of books about local history at discounted prices, note cards, historical photographs, and archival collections of historic documents and photos. For more information, call (910) 692-2051, or email info@moorehistory.com. Free admission. |
