Museum team and visitors heading down the beach on horseback.
A blacksmith in historical attire works inside a dimly lit workshop. The man wears a light-colored, loose-fitting collared shirt with suspenders, dark trousers, and eyeglasses. Leaning forward, he holds a hammer down against a piece of glowing hot metal resting on a large metal anvil. To the right, a brick forge glows with a bright orange fire, while a multi-pane window on the left lets in natural daylight, illuminating the workspace.

The Village Blacksmith

Event
If you have ever wished to observe a blacksmith at work during the summer, this weekend presents an invaluable opportunity. We invite you to join us to witness our blacksmith transform an iron rod into functional items, such as hooks and fire pokers.
