I was very excited to read about the American College of the Building Arts in the most recent issue of the National Trust’s Preservation Magazine. This school is teaching the quickly-vanishing skills needed for timber framing, iron working, and stone carving, among others. We focus on these skills in our living history museums, but not many builders and contractors know how to execute these building techniques. If we want to continue preserving our historic buildings, we need solid programs dedicated to teaching these skills.

Take a look at the article and post below if there are other programs out there dedicated to preserving the trade skills of the past.
