Pearl Stringing

Freshwater pearls from the bottom of the Black River have been a large part of our local history, but what do you do with the pearls once they’re found? Join park staff to make beautiful necklaces, bracelets, or earrings from milky white pearls and learn about the history of the freshwater pearling industry on the Black River. The registration fee covers the cost of materials. Space is limited; reservations required. Note: the pearls used in this workshop were not harvested from the Black River.
