Potato Basket Weaving Workshop

There is something about weaving a basket that takes you back to a simpler time and place. With today’s busy lifestyle, we all need to find a relaxing and enjoyable hobby. Join us at Powhatan Historic State Park and learn to weave a Potato basket. This basket has a rich history that has traveled from the East coast across Tennessee with the settlers of Arkansas. The cost is $30.00 and all supplies will be provided for you. Please bring a sack lunch. Space is limited. Reservations are required.
