Hoover Blacksmith Shop at Hebert Hoover National Historic Site in West Branch, IA (1957). Jesse Hoover was a blacksmith by trade and operated out of a shop close to the house. He appears to have been very successful, as he sold the practice in 1878 to open a farm goods store; however, he died two years later. The Hoovers were originally against the idea of reconstructing the blacksmith shop, since they thought it would not be authentic. But after an archealogical survey of the site, which they combined with Tad Hoover's recollections of the building, the Hoovers were satisfied with the project. The reconstruction was built with repurposed timber from a 1870 barn.

Pioneer Village. Pioneer Village is the reconstruction of a typical frontier community as it might have existed in the late 1800s. This community consists of 42 authentic 19th century stores and buildings and the artifacts with which they may have been furnished. The Village features one of the finest collections of small arms in the country, including guns, slingshots, crossbows, and cannons. The Carriage Hall features almost every type of wheeled conveyance used at the turn-of-the-century.
A Rock Chapel stands at the head of Pioneer Village. Originally constructed in Coalville, Utah in 1853, the building was first used as a fort. It later became a courthouse, a schoolhouse, and a church.
Among the many other treasures in the Village are a one-room schoolhouse, a two-story sawed log house, smokehouse, millinery shop, clock shop, tool museum, hardware store, cobbler shop, co-op, print shop, music hall, gingerbread house, doll museum, and town hall.

Jeffrey and I spent the day at Old World Wisconsin Saturday. The weather was perfect.
We spent quite a while watching the blacksmith work.
Blacksmith shop at Historic Smithfield Plantation in Blacksburg, Virginia. My great-great grandfather, Joseph Green Smith (1848-1882), was born a slave in Montgomery County, Virginia. As a young man he worked as a blacksmith near Blacksburg. His last slave owner is unknown at this time, but available records point to either Daniel Howe Hoge (1811-1867), or his brother James Fulton Hoge (1818-1873) of Blacksburg, VA. As a free man at the end of the Civil War in 1865, Joseph Green Smith went to work for a Samuel Dulaney (1810-1875) in adjacent Floyd County, Virginia. Remarkable for that time, Green Smith was a former slave who could both read and write English.

A blacksmith in Warwick Castle as part of the Kingmaker tour. It looks like the smith would have been right at home in Skyrim (an Elder Scrolls game).
Blacksmith at Silver Dollar City, Branson, Missouri, 1979. He swung this big hammer for several hours a day so you wouldn't want to arm wrestle him to see who bought lunch.
I rarely paint in acrylics, but I've posted a few just for the record. This 16" x 20" was sold several years ago to a young woman whose grandfather had been a blacksmith.

Colin Bradman, the blacksmith. Along with his team's members he's giving wonderful presentations of his craftsman to the Calgary Stampede visitors.
I asked him what's his take on the TV show 'Forged In Fire'.. He said it's quite authentic, and -- he's submitted his name to a pull of prospective participants. Good for him! Hopefully, we'll see him doing cool (i.e., 'hot') stuff for much bigger audience.
