Woodcarvers Shop
On display are a pair of hand carved wooden shoes made and used by early settlers to the Great Black Swamp. People used wooden shoes in wet, muddy, and mucky areas, like barns and farmyards, where leather was not practical.
Today, artisans and artists create wood carved
and wood crafted items for artistic or decorative
purposes like the pieces on display throughout
this building.
