On July 4, 2026, America will celebrate our 250 anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. In honor of that event Patriot Academy is building on their campus in Texas a replica of Independence Hall. To help them facilitate that historical work, MASW will completely shut down the entire facility the week of May 27-31 to remake (as historically as possible) all the items that were in the Assembly Room at Independence Hall. This will include all the chairs (mostly Windsor), the tables, all the wall panels and moldings, all the turnings for the Bar wall, the pediments and the carved frieze capitals. MASW is one of the only places in America where talent can be brought together to recreate this master work; all in just one week. To help make the week a success, many of the school’s instructors, who are among the best craftspeople of modern time, will be there to help. The goal is to have all these items ready to be finished and installed. For those who have a strong Patriotic heart, OR those who are hungry to learn more about the wisdom and faith of our Founding Fathers, OR those who love to take on challenging projects, OR those enjoy volunteering their time for a good cause, OR those who want to learn new skills, OR for those who are part of the MASW community or part of the Patriot Academy, community–ALL are invited to a part of this historic and memorable week. NO SKILLS NECESSARY!
