The image is a sepia-toned collage of historical reenactors dressed in early 20th-century or late 19th-century attire. On the left, a man wearing a vest, white shirt, and hat stands beside vintage equipment, possibly a printing press or farm machinery. In the center, a group of men and women in period clothing, including long skirts, blouses, shawls, and hats, pose together in front of a rustic wooden building. On the far right, one woman sits knitting while another stands beside a wooden barrel pump, suggesting daily life scenes from a bygone era. The warm, antique color palette evokes a nostalgic, museum-like atmosphere.

A booth at an outdoor craft fair features three vendors from Pine Lake Craft Woods, wearing matching white shirts with the business logo. The table is filled with handcrafted wooden bowls, goblets, and other items made from reclaimed wood, displayed neatly on black tablecloths with festive holiday greenery. A sign behind them reads “Pine Lake Craft Woods” with the tagline “Hand-crafted works of art made from reclaimed wood” and a phone number. Visitors browse the display, and the background shows rustic wooden structures and trees, adding to the warm, artisan market atmosphere.

Calling All Artists & Crafters — Be Part of Two Great Mint Hill Traditions!

The Mint Hill Historical Society is excited to invite local artists, makers, and crafters to join us for two of our most anticipated annual events — Autumn Jubilee and Christmas in the Village. These celebrations draw visitors from across the region to enjoy live music, unique handmade goods, delicious food, and an authentic step back in time at the Carl J. McEwen Historic Village. If you have handcrafted items to share, this is your chance to showcase your work and connect with a community that values creativity and tradition.

The Autumn Jubilee will be held on Saturday, September 27, 2025, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. This country arts and crafts festival is a fall favorite, featuring seasonal décor, artisan booths, music, and activities for all ages. Booth spaces are 10’x10′, and vendors are responsible for their own setup, including tents, tables, and coverings. Craft items must be homemade, and spaces are available for $25 for Mint Hill Market members and $40 for non-members.

Next, mark your calendar for the Christmas in the Village Holiday Arts and Crafts Show on Saturday, November 22, 2025, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. This festive market transforms the Historic Village into a winter wonderland, complete with holiday music, twinkling décor, and unique gift shopping opportunities. Just like Autumn Jubilee, vendor spaces are 10’x10′ with the same setup guidelines and pricing. It’s the perfect way to share your holiday creations and reach shoppers looking for one-of-a-kind, locally made gifts.

Both events offer a wonderful opportunity to meet new customers, network with other artists, and be part of the Mint Hill Historical Society’s mission to preserve and celebrate our heritage. Spaces fill quickly, so we encourage early registration to secure your spot.

If you’re ready to join the fun and showcase your handmade goods, contact us today at historical@bellsouth.net or call 704-573-0726 for more information. We can’t wait to see the creativity and craftsmanship you’ll bring to our beloved community events!
