Dinners and transportation to and from the mill are not included in the tour fee. There are many fine restaurants located in downtown Staunton within walking distance of the hotel.
This opportunity for this type of seminar is unique in the United States. Imagine, if you will, being informed of many aspects of sheep, wool, and dyeing natural fibers, together with the manufacturing of yarn - the old and the new, while doing it in a bucolic and pastoral environment. This surely will be a most memorable event. Our seminars will start May 10, 2021 and will be available April through November each year.
