Spend Summer Saturdays with Gunston Hall!
Celebrate the 250th this summer by attending our Saturday programming! Dig deep into the history of our site and explore our fun-filled civic themes that tie to modern applications of George Mason’s Virginia Declaration of Rights. Each Summer Saturday will feature a host of crafts, games and other activities for the whole family.
Saturday, July 25: Speak up, Speak out
Craft your way through history with Gunston Hall. This 250th Summer Saturday event highlighting crafting as a form of activism will showcase “craftivism” through the ages: from the homespun movement in the 18th century, through WWII and today. Explore demonstrations courtesy of community partners, try your hand at historic crafts, and take home patterns to help you speak up and speak out.
