Why Do We Exist?
The Southern Indiana Folk School was created in 2014 as part of the Jefferson County History and Art Center. Early Madison immigrants brought with them many handcrafted items including iron, tin and copper works, fabric and woven items, toys, furniture and pottery. Many examples of locally produced crafts have been saved in the collection of the History and Art Center. The Southern Indiana Folk School shares with today's residents the artistry and skill of traditional handicrafts. We welcome visitors and residents alike and are always looking for new instructors to teach traditional crafts.
