Step Back in Time: Experience the Art of Nineteenth-Century Blacksmithing

Discover the crucial role blacksmiths played in 19th-century life — from forging tools and hardware that kept daily life moving to crafting weapons for the U.S. Armory for national defense. Now, it’s your turn to wield the hammer! Learn this historic trade from Professional Blacksmith David Dufficy. Feel the heat of the forge, echo the clang of the hammer on hot iron, and create something with your own two hands — just as they did 150 years ago!
