Events

Join us for an amazing afternoon of exploration, education, and conversation. Starting at the Period Carpentry exhibit at the MN Institute of Arts Queen Anne room. Where we can see examples of hundred year old techniques. We continue with a tour of the Turnblad Mansion, where we can see in-situ examples of Old World carpentry in the New World context. Finally, we wrap up in Volstead’s Emporium, a speakeasy decked out in some period millwork, for some lively discussion. We may even delve into the mechanics of building “secret” bookcase doors.
