The Celts were a group of people who lived in Europe during the Iron Age and Medieval period, from around 700 BC to 1200 AD. They were skilled in many different activities and crafts, such as metalworking, weaving, and woodworking, and had a rich culture that is still celebrated today.

​

At Appalachian Highland Celts, we are dedicated to teaching people about the activities and crafts of ancient Celts, and preserving this rich cultural heritage for future generations. Here are some of the activities and crafts that we focus on:
