Hey there,
Does anyone have a good source for late 19th century Christmas/Holiday crafts? Looking for a few activities/crafts for a new holiday program.

Thanks,
Rob Burg

Why don't you call Jim Johnson at The Henry Ford? I'm sure he has tons of primary sources. At Firestone, we made pomander balls and wax ornaments ourselves and opened up making wax ornaments to visitors as well. The whole cloves for the pomander balls can be a little pricey.
