Lost Arts at the Sophienburg

Some skills were never meant to be forgotten……Introducing Lost Arts!

Lost Arts is a new hands-on program at The Sophienburg Museum that brings the past to life by reconnecting our community with traditional skills and time-honored practices.

Through guided gatherings and workshops, participants will learn “lost arts” such as sewing, sausage making, leather crafting, and other home economics–based skills that once played an essential role in daily life.

These arts—rooted in heritage, self-sufficiency, and community—are seeing a renewed interest today as people seek to preserve cultural traditions and practical knowledge. Lost Arts celebrates the craftsmanship, stories, and shared experiences behind these skills, ensuring they are passed on to future generations.

Join us for our first session, Sausage Making with Greg Goebel!
