Description

Join a Ranger for this hands on learning opportunity. Rangers will walk visitors through the process of making their own sand mold, and "casting" molds with plaster. Visitors will leave this experience with a better understanding of the craft of the moulder, and how they contributed to the furnace operation. All are welcome.
