There were lots of hands-on activities, like dipping wicks hung from a stick into hot wax to make candles, a blacksmith demonstrating his trade, soldiers explaining their uniforms and shooting off their rifles.

You could even try your hand at sawing wood.

People displayed quilts, photographs and other things of the time.
