Welcome to the Dragonfly Canoe Works website! We are builders and restorers of traditional wood canoes (though we are on a temporary building hiatus while we restore our old farmhouse and build a new shop). In the meantime, we still buy and sell old canoes, and carry a line of great merchandise. One of our main goals is to help folks learn more about wood canoes and their history, so there is quite a bit of material on our site on this topic. Enjoy! - Dan Miller
