[3] Virginia Stranahan, a friend of Kennedy's from his Gaelic folk singing tours, supported the renovation of a 19th-century barn for the school.

Over the course of six weeks, students would spin a sheep's fleece into yarn, weave it into a blanket, and waulk it with Scottish songs.

In 2016 the school reconstituted its original nonprofit, making it eligible to receive a donation of looms, spinning wheels, and other historic equipment as part of the de-accessioning of the collection of the American Textile History Museum.

[8] The school also promotes an online "Early Hand North American Handloom Survey" to gather information about the "style, construction, and features" of the textile technology of this period.

[9][10][11] The campus formerly hosted a semiannual Textile History Forum for academic research, organized by Rabbit Goody of Thistle Hill Weavers.
