"We showcase local craftspeople and handmade goods," said Maryann Swartz, describing the Winters Heritage House Museum's Heritage Craft Show. The show will take place from 4 to 8 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 11, and from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 12, at the museum, 47 E. High St., Elizabethtown.

The show will include a variety of items from artisans and family businesses, noted Swartz, who is the museum director. Vendors will display their wares throughout four historic buildings, including the 1760 log homes that make up the museum and the brick Victorian house next door, she said. The craft show will feature handmade jewelry, stationery, artwork, clothing, doll furniture and accessories, baby gifts, turned wood items, soaps, lotions, holiday decor and more.

Admission to the craft show is by cash donation or a nonperishable food item. The admission fee will be waived after noon on Nov. 12. Cash and food donations will benefit the Community Cupboard of Elizabethtown, with the exception of what's sold in the "100% room." That room showcases items made in-house and includes quilted and crocheted crafts. Proceeds from anything sold in the room are used to offset the cost of the museum's educational programming.

This is the 32nd year for the craft show, Swartz said. "It's really become a tradition," she remarked. "It's part of our mission of giving back to the community." She explained that recognizing the community is important to the museum, because the Winters Heritage House would not exist without the community's support. "We were initially saved by the efforts of the community," she shared. "People donated their time and expertise to preserve the building, so we want to give back."

The Winters Heritage House Museum offers a variety of programming throughout the year, including workshops for children and adults. Girl Scout troops and a church meet on the property, and the organization leads an annual walking tour for third-grade students and hosts an annual quilt show in the spring.
