Explore the exceptional Kilts Farm Tool Collection, a truly unique assembly of traditional tools housed right here on the farm. This remarkable collection was meticulously gathered by a single individual within about a 40-mile radius of the farm, ensuring a profound local connection. It offers an unparalleled window into the rich material culture of the Palatine German settlements that shaped the Mohawk Valley. What makes this collection particularly special is the presence of multiple examples of the same tools, providing a rare opportunity for in-depth comparisons and a deeper understanding of historical craftsmanship.

We teach traditional skills to deepen our understanding of how objects were made and used in the past. Learning these skills creates a shared connection—linking people across generations and bridging cultural divides.

Traditional methods also carry historical narratives and cultural significance, offering valuable insights into the lives and values of those who came before us.

Engaging in creative work can bring a sense of contentment and well-being, enriching both mind and spirit.
