Featured Items in Our Gift Shop
We sell locally made items in the Schifferstadt Architectural Museum gift shop. Here are some featured handcrafts that we have currently:
The Friends of Baker Park Calendar funds will go towards the clean-up of Culler Lake.
Scherenschnitte ornaments are paper cut shapes that are placed in a glass display small enough to hang on a Christmas tree!
These authentic reproduction glass bottles have the Brunner family name imprinted on the front.
These ornaments were made by the Potter's Guild, located in Downtown Frederick. Prices vary for each item, stop by our shop to find out more!
Made by Millhouse Candles, these wax ornaments smell great and are beautifully designed.
Last, but not least, this calendar depicting the architectural blueprint of Schifferstadt House, drawn by a local architect will be given out for free at the Museums by Candlelight event on December 13th from 12-7pm. First come, first serve!
Schifferstadt's Last Event of the Season
Schifferstadt Architectural Museum is happy to once again take part in Museums by Candlelight. The event will be held on Saturday, December 13th and begins at noon.
The German farmhouse will be decorated for the holiday season. Children can learn about and make traditional crafts often made by early German colonial children. Docents will be available for tours and questions. The raffle winner for "The Spires of Frederick" by Harry Richardson will also be announced at this event.
This will be the last event before Schifferstadt closes for this year. Come join us to celebrate the holiday season!

Frederick County Landmarks Foundation is excited to present its third annual Winterfest: Arts & Crafts Market on November 22, 2014, 11-5 pm at the Schifferstadt Architectural Museum.
Warm cider, treats and good company will be provided!
What better way to kick-off winter other than sipping warm cider or wine and meandering through Schifferstadt to admire well-made crafts and fine art from local artisans while a glowing fire glows keeps the chill away? Local artists will be set-up throughout the Schifferstadt Architectural Museum selling their unique, hand-crafted work. Schifferstadt also has a gift shop that offers reproduction glassware and ornaments among other fun gifts for sale.
