Exciting News from Bucyrus Copper Kettle Works! 🛠️✨

We’re thrilled to welcome Cohen Knapp as our Summer 2026 Workforce Ready Intern!

Cohen will be a senior at Colonel Crawford High School and is participating in Pioneers welding program. He’s already hard at work learning the traditional coppersmith trade — from hands-on hammering to the time-honored techniques that have made our copper kettles legendary since 1874.

We are fortunate to have Cohen with us through Crawford Partnership’s Workforce Ready Intern Program, in collaboration with The Community Foundation for Crawford County.

Cohen, thank you for bringing your energy and work ethic to the kettle. We’re excited to watch you grow in this unique craft and contribute to preserving America’s last handcrafted copper kettle business.

Stay tuned for updates on Cohen’s journey this summer!

Thank you to all our hardworking volunteers!

Visit Bucyrus Copper Kettle Works, LTD. listed on the America 250-Ohio “Creativity Trail.”

☀️ A big THANK YOU to our wonderful volunteers!

This past Saturday, several dedicated volunteers came out for a much-needed cleanup day at the Copper Kettle. While we didn’t manage to snap a group photo, we did catch volunteer, Mark Makeever, at work cleaning all the windows so the sunshine can shine through! ✨

Running a working museum takes many hands, and we’re so grateful for every person who rolls up their sleeves to help preserve this piece of American history.

Thank you, Mark, and thank you to all our volunteers ! 🙌 Who else would like to join the volunteer efforts? Drop a comment or message us!
