2018 Log Cabin Workshop October 14-19

In this week-long expedition you will reconstruct a log cabin slave quarter based on an actual site we have found on the Montpelier property through archaeological excavations. Participants will learn wood working and joinery techniques with historic tools that were used in Madison's era.  We hope to complete the entire cabin during the week-long program, which means you will be exposed not only to hewing and notching of logs, but also timber framing of rafters, joists, and chimney construction.

Choose one option below for each participant you are registering.
