Heritage Lecture: George Nakashima Documentary

Sunday November 9, 2025
2:00 PM

Join us at Washington Crossing Historic Park’s (PA) Visitor Center Auditorium for a screening of “George Nakashima: Woodworker” on November 9th at 2:00 p.m.

George Nakashima is not only a local legend, but a world renowned woodworker and architect. His New Hope Studio, founded in 1946, is a National Historic Landmark. Filmmaker John Nakashima’s documentary offers a rare and very personal perspective of George Nakashima and the work that he designed and produced over a period of 54 years. George did not come to woodworking until his mid-thirties after a worldwide search for meaning that lasted for several years during the Great Depression. During his seeker’s journey, he found important answers that brought him to evolve this new approach to woodworking. It is a timeless story for anyone who has a fascination with the creative process.

Following the screening, Mira Nakashima will lead a discussion and Q&A about her father's legacy, the ongoing work at George Nakashima Woodworkers, and the current project to preserve the Nakashima Family Home. To learn more about the preservation efforts and support the campaign, visit: https://nakashimafoundation.org/honor-a-legacy/
