13 Apr 06 Blacksmith Shop
I know Doug and maybe some of you are mature enough to remember things like this, but I don't. This is a simple unpainted frame structure with an overhanging roof, wide doors, stone and brick forge and was an integral part of society well into the twentieth century. Much of the equipment is original to the shop. Many farms and plantations had their own resident “smithys” that supplied a variety of needs. I must admit it was pretty cool.
