Stitching Through History: An Embroidery Workshop

with Historic St. Mary’s City

Stitch your way through 400 years of history! Whether you’re new to embroidery or a seasoned stitcher, this workshop offers a hands-on look at 17th-century needlework. Learn traditional techniques, explore colonial “samplers,” and create your own piece inspired by the beautiful museum landscape.


Aaron Meisinger, the Interpretive Programs Manager at Historic St. Mary’s City, began working at HSMC in 1986 as a living history interpreter while completing his Bachelor of Science/Communication Arts degree from James Madison University. He had no idea how his degree would parlay into a career until he started working at Maryland’s 1st Colonial Capital (and he has been here ever since).

HSMC Experience includes 35 years portraying various 17th-century people for the public, scriptwriting, directing, training, and developing traditional as well as out-of-the-box living history programming.
