The 2019 Summer Apprentice Program is now open for enrollment! Historic Richmond Town’s rich array of apprenticeships build real-world skills based upon centuries of American ingenuity. The program is a wonderful alternative to the tried and true summer camp. Individualized sessions in the Historic Trades are conducted in small groups of less than five and accelerate learning as students work with an experienced Artisan to build their skills forging iron, crafting tin, and cooking over an open fire as they create one-of-a-kind, hand crafted items. The historic settings are fully furnished for an immersive and hands-on practice. Apprentices will visit the other trades during their week to add to the fun and the 360-degree learning. At the end of each session, apprentices will have the ability to present their trade and lead a specialized tour of their workshop to visitors and their families.

The Curatorial Department at Historic Richmond Town’s Main Village site has sent a series of genre paintings from the mid-part of the 19th century to be loaned, as a part of a formal exhibition, to the American Folk Art Museum. The paintings include an oil on canvas from 1853 featuring a scene of oyster fishing, an important trade on Staten Island, an oil on canvas depicting Tompkinsville in the 1850s, as well as two portraits.
