As labourers worked all day under the scorching sun, having protection became essential. During the late 18th to early 19th centuries, straw hats were a common sight among farmers and workers in both North America and Europe as the materials were inexpensive & readily available. On August 9th and 10th, interpreters will demonstrate the traditional craft of straw hat braiding, allowing visitors to experience this historical practice.
