The circa-1800 farmhouse is home to fourteen rooms of custom made and hand crafted furniture. Jim and his wife Nance have made Windsor Chairmakers a local institution where visitors receive a warm welcome and a chance to see artisans at work. Just 2 miles north of Windsor Chairmakers sits Swans Island Blankets. For 15 years, Swans Island has been hand weaving blankets and throws. The exquisite colors in their products come from the natural color of the local fleeces they use and from their own dye house where they color with all natural plant dyes. The showroom is located in a renovated 1780s farmhouse. You are welcome to wander into the production area and watch the weavers and dyers at work.
