See how it all started with the Soapmaking Historical Guild
On site, historic soapmaking demonstrations on request. The SHG is a full living history event. Cindy is a certified State Parks Interpreter and certified by the National Association of Interpretation. The original location for the SHG was Old Town San Diego State Historic Park. In 2021 the park closure forced all Living History Interpretations to end. Unfortunatly they have not made thier way back to Old Town, yet!
If you would like the Soapmaking Historical Guild to demonstrate at your site we are accepting inquries.
Contact CindyChrist@FollowingSeasons.com
See our Facebook page at Soapmaking Historical Guild for more great pictures of our demonstrations.
