The Blacksmith Shop, Historical blacksmith exhibit at Shelburne Museum, Vermont, US
The brick structure houses an operational forge where skilled artisans demonstrate traditional metalworking techniques using nineteenth-century tools and equipment.
Built around 1800 near Shelburne railroad tracks, the shop was relocated 2,400 feet down Route 7 to the Shelburne Museum grounds in 1955.
The exhibit represents the essential role of village blacksmiths in early American communities, who produced tools, hardware, and agricultural implements for local residents.
Visitors can observe daily demonstrations of traditional blacksmithing methods and purchase handcrafted metal items created by the resident artisans.
The building contains both a blacksmith forge and a wheelwright shop, displaying the interconnected crafts of metal and wooden wheel construction.
