Craftsperson Award

CSAA Craftsperson Award Details
The Craftsperson Award celebrates the volunteer who excels in a particular schoolhouse project or projects.  This award is for a person who willingly contributes to preserving America’s early school history at your site, not for hired craftsperson’s work.  It recognizes the talent and skill that goes into their outstanding workmanship.
