Join us in our Reconstruct Expeditions!
Reconstruct Expeditions resume in September 2025.
What is a Reconstruction/Restoration Expedition Program?
We have been running reconstruction and restoration programs for the past decade. What all of these involve is hands-on restoration/reconstruction of buildings, cooking, and garden landscaping here at Montpelier. These programs are all hands-on where you work with professionals on sites here at Montpelier. You will be learning skills that you can use in your own life–whether it be architectural restoration, architectural recording or hearth-cooking.

Sept 10-12: Historic Masonry at Montpelier–three-day program
September 25-26: Blacksmithing Expedition–two-day program
