THIS WORKSHOP FILLS VERY FAST; if you're interested, please let me know ASAP. NOTE: If you're from out of town and need a place to stay overnight, do check out Schoolhouse Number 10! Make a weekend of it with your family or friends. PAGE DOWN FOR DIRECTIONS TO BINDERY AND SCHOOLHOUSE NUMBER 10. Please note there is an error in the directions from the South. Go right, not left, from the exit ramp off I-91, toward Bernardston. Also, I recently discovered that the road sign is missing at the Weatherhead Hollow turn off from Keets Brook Rd. The first stop sign on Keets Brook Rd. IS Weatherhead Hollow. Sorry for any confusion.
