Small Business Saturday

Spend the day exploring local vendors and historic attractions while getting a head start on holiday shopping. The Bradford House and surrounding venues will welcome visitors with a variety of activities and special offerings. Start your morning with a free cookie from the outdoor kitchen cabin as part of a breakfast crawl, then watch Kate demonstrate cooking techniques. Browse the Bradford House Gift Shop and Visitor Center Gift Shop for unique Whiskey Rebellion-themed items and books by local authors. Several local vendors, including jewelry makers, woodcarvers, and gift artisans, will be on hand to showcase their work. Families with kids will especially enjoy the Little Rebels Make & Take craft activities at the Meeting House, where children can create their own projects. Free walk-through tours of the beautifully decorated Bradford House Museum run throughout the day, with costumed docents sharing stories about the home's history and 18th-century holiday traditions. The Whiskey Rebellion Education and Visitor Center will also be open for exploration. Everything is free to attend, making this a budget-friendly way to experience local history, support small businesses, and find meaningful gifts all in one outing.
