The Blacksmith Shop was a hub of activity for the community and travelers.  You could get horses shod, carriages repaired and painted or new wheels put on your wagon.  The Shop retains its historical integrity and is the most accurate representation of its kind in the county.  Even today, one can see evidence of paint samples on the walls of the second floor along the wrought iron railing which kept the carriages from rolling off the roof where they would be hauled out to dry.
