About the Gathering
North House Folk School is honored and excited to host the 2013 North-Central Regional Meeting in collaboration with the Timber Framers Guild. Our campus’ five timbered classroom buildings include two historic warehouses built in the 1930’s by the CCC. Over 100 timber frames have been built at North House as part of our timber framing curriculum since the school’s inception in 1997.

The Gathering is open to anyone with an interest in timber framing. Registration details will be in place by December 15th. A modest registration fee ($45 early bird, $55 regular) will cover participation in all Friday-Sunday activities (including lunch, dinner & breakfast). Separate registration is required for the pre-Gathering courses and the optional Sunday Get Outs.
