Glad that the LimeWorks.us Technical Install Team was able to get the Moland House Fireplace working again. The Historic Society does Period cooking as part of their interpretation of how this landmark entertained Lafayette, Washington and the Continental troops in the 1700’s.

We will be attending. See you in Medina.

Registration is now open for the 2026 IPTW in Medina, NY scheduled September 17-19!

Register before July 15 to take advantage of early bird discounts

This year, we gather in Medina, NY; a place shaped by craft, labor, and the iconic Erie Canal.

When the canal opened in the 1820s, it transformed this region—bringing materials, people, and opportunity. Out of that moment came the region's defining cobblestone buildings, constructed stone by stone using glacial rocks pulled from nearby fields. No two are the same. Each one is a testament to patience, immense skill, and pride in craft work.

That’s the spirit of IPTW!

🔨 Hands-on learning
🤝 Shared knowledge
🧱 Craft rooted in place

See you at Talis Historic Restoration September 17-19.
