Join preservation students from the North Bennett Street School in Boston to learn about preservation carpentry and build a first period model house.
Become an expert on architectural styles, participate in hands-on architecture activities, and learn about tools of the trade. This hands-on workshop will be of interest to students with a passion for history, construction or old houses. Andover's own unique historical style will be explored through walking tours, photographs and engaging discussions while construction methods will be practiced under the tutelage of North Bennett Street School students.
