Celebrate Labor Day with Historic Trades

Labor day was instituted as a federal holiday in 1894 to honor the American worker. The legacy of labor stretches back to the very beginning, with artisans in America’s first colonies.

Celebrate the ingenuity and dedication of the American laborer today with Historic Trades.
