Letchworth Knap-in

The Stone Tool Craftsmen Show (affectionately called the N.Y. knap-in or the Letchworth knap-in) is usually held annually on the last weekend of August at Letchworth State Park.  The location where it's set up is on the high banks area, and it has great bathroom accomodations, camping on site for knappers, and plenty of parking.  This is the largest knap-in in the Northeast, so if you live in the Northeast, you can not afford to miss coming!  Below are a few pictures to give you an idea of what our Letchworth knap-in looks like.

Here's a look down the "Main Street" of the Letchworth knap-in.  This particular year we had a lot of rain so things were still a little wet and muddy, but that didn't stop the huge crowds of people from coming.  This picture only shows about 1/4 of the entire knap-in area.  Then of course there is a moutain man camp, and Civil and Revelutionary war camps as well.

If you've never had a chance to look at a real teepee, you will see one every year at the Letchworth Knap-in.  You can actually walk in this one, as it's owner is a vendor that sells a lot of neat primitive type crafts and primitive self bows
