Review & FAQ:

Located next door to Hearthside House Museum, the Hannaway Blacksmith Shop originally opened in 1880. True to its era, the shop has wood plank walls and dirt floors.

Original blacksmithing tools that are 100 years old hang on the walls. Blacksmithing classes and demos are offered to youth who have an interest in craftsmanship. Students learn how to hand forge; shaping steel and iron into intricate designs.

Each class is two hours in length and is available to a maximum of two students at a time. Children must be at least 11 years old to attend, and kids under 16 years of age must be accompanied by an adult.
