Events › Hands-On History: A Genealogy Craft Series

Hands-On History is a creative craft series that brings genealogy to life through art, memory, and storytelling. Each session explores fun, hands-on projects—like designing family tree keepsakes, making heritage-inspired buttons, or creating memory collages—while also sharing tips and resources for discovering your own family history. Join us as we connect the past with the present, one craft at a time.

Celebrate the holiday season by combining creativity and family history! In this hands-on craft workshop, participants will create personalized Christmas ornaments inspired by their family tree. Using photos, names, and heritage-inspired designs, you’ll craft unique keepsakes that tell your family’s story and can be passed down for generations to come.

All materials will be provided, but you’re welcome to bring copies of family photos or small memorabilia to personalize your ornament. Perfect for all skill levels — join us for a festive afternoon of crafting, storytelling, and holiday cheer!
