  • A must stop and see. Lots of stuff to see and can see the blacksmiths working on making something. They do have a small gift shop with items for sale that the blacksmiths made.
  • Great experience on a Friday morning. The blacksmith working was friendly and patient with our 2 young kids. I would recommend they setup Venmo for donations at the entrance, would have donated more but I was only carrying a few dollars with me. Got a cool coat hook made for us during our visit.
