These fellows made horseshoes and fixed chains, anchors, pulleys, wagons, steam engines, and just about anything else that was made out of metal. The front yard was always cluttered with broken machinery waiting to be fixed.

Today you can still hear the ping of the blacksmith’s hammer on a summer day. Volunteers staff the Blacksmith Shop to demonstrate some of the tools and techniques used to work metal in the past. Stop in and watch the blacksmith work, and ask him how important his work was to this village.
