Early American Girls
Whether your daughter is already interested in history or you just want her to learn about it, the Early American Girls workshops will bring history to life for her in a fun and memorable way!
These workshops are by appointment only. Gather a group of girls and contact kristin@longcreekmercantile.com to get started!
Cooking up the Past
Learning to cook over an open hearth was necessary for most early American girls in the Carolina Backcountry. In this workshop we will learn about hearth cooking tools and methods, and prepare food to try!
Girls are encouraged to wear clothes that can get dirty and bring an apron if possible.

A Day in the Life...
Step back in time for a day as a girl in the 18th century Carolina backcountry.
