About this Event

Step back in time at Historical Village, when everything was homemade and homegrown and being in tune with the environment was an essential way of life.

Compose leaves and other natural materials in a sun print. With a costumed guide, learn about this form of proto-photography invented in 1841, where a cyanotype or ‘blueprint’ is produced by exposing objects on light sensitive paper to UV light.

Explore the Village while you wait for your image to magically appear!
