The Carpenter Shop

One of the original Homestead buildings, it was first used as a wood shed and before it was converted to the carpenter shop. Ben Lear, James O'Hara's brother-in-law, was a talented carpenter. In fact, he built much of the family’s furniture, including a variety of pieces that are still featured in the O’Hara House Museum. Inside today’s Carpenter Shop, you will find many carpenter's tools, as well as the equipment for making shoes, barrels and other household necessities.
