Experience a day full of Trades at Old New-Gate. Historically, the incarcerated individuals at New-Gate (1773) were forced to make nails, shoes, barrels, and more as part of their prison sentence. In honor of the craftspeople at New-Gate, we are hosting a Trades Day with demonstrations and hands-on activities highlighting these important skills.
