A Working museum of Victorian era craftsmanship open to the public for tours & classes
Click https://linktr.ee/blueoxmill for our YouTube channel & tour booking! From our blacksmith shop to our historic craftsman's apothecary, from the world's largest collection of molder knives to our wide assortment of hand planes, Blue Ox is a craftsman's paradise presided over by a true craftsman. With over forty years of experience, Eric has become a master communicator in the delicate language of wood and he shares his skills at our living history park. Take one of our tours and watch our craftsmen use antique machinery of the 1800's and early 1900's to do custom woodworking, restoration, print and bind books, or mix stains and varnishes. Schedule a fully guided group tour or to take one of our hands-on workshops where you can make your own pen on a lathe or create your own stained glass ornament.
