Participants will get to make a Krista’s Oval Basket. Participants are asked to bring the following: a bucket, 10 spring clothes pins, a towel, a flathead, a screwdriver, a ruler or tape measure, and an old pair of scissors. If you do not have some of the items, extra supplies and tools will be provided. Please note, plastic clothespins will not work for this project.

The Daniel Boone Homestead is the birthplace of the famed frontiersman, born in 1734. The Boone House, constructed in three stages throughout the 18th century, is a 10-room stone structure fully furnished to the period and situated on 579 acres of rolling countryside. The Daniel Boone Homestead is located halfway between Reading and Pottstown, one mile north of Rt. 422 near Baumstown. The Homestead is owned by the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission (PHMC), and daily historic operations are run by the Daniel Boone Homestead Associates, a local, nonprofit organization.
