Open Forge
On the 4th Saturday of each month, individuals interested in blacksmithing feel the heat of the fire with a hammer in hand as they hone their blacksmithing skills as an actual blacksmith. There are no age restrictions, however those under 18 must be accompanied by a parent. This is an informal gathering with no “formal” teaching. At least one lesson - as well as active museum membership is required in order to participate.
