Then & Now: Historical Tanning & Leather Works

In 1863, John Rupp owned and operated a tannery on this property—now home to the children’s interactive history museum in the historic Rupp House. Join Eric Mohney with Von Dettum and Company in the side yard and learn about the historical tanning industry and leather working. The event is free and open to the public.

Tickets are required for the interactive children’s history museum adventure. Children and youth (ages 0-12) currently receive free admission tickets with a ticketed adult.
