![]() This building was built in 1997, as a demonstration building. This building houses a small blacksmith shop. It is a recent addition to the museum and it is used for demonstrations of a blacksmith's art. The blacksmith was essential in any community in the 1930s. His job was very dangerous and this resulted in many injuries. The blacksmith made many things such as; horseshoes, tools, nails, and other small items for daily use. The blacksmith had to be very skilled and intelligent to have the knowledge to make these things. Even today, there are still a few men who volunteer their time at the museum to practise their blacksmithing skills and make souvenirs for the giftshop, along with other traditional tools and horseshoes. Come on inside and learn even more about the blacksmith and his tools. |
