Our next meeting will be SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 16 at 1:30pm, before our special program, THE LOST ART OF MAKING SHOES. Please join the Epsom Historical Association’s presentation by Bruce Graham. Bruce is a local craftsman who has revived the once common art of making shoes. He will demonstrate the process step by step including materials, tools, shaping, styles and many other aspects of the trade. Bruce’s presentation is interesting and entertaining and contrasts the creativity of the past with the mass production of today. The program will be held 2:00-3:00 P.M. at the Old Epsom Town Hall on Rte. 4, Epsom. See you all there!
