The blacksmith shop is not well known, but if you want to see how such shops looked some 50 or more years ago, this is a good place to be. It's not cleaned up spic and span, it's the way it was, dust and all. Which is part of its charm.
This blacksmith shop was in operation from 1883-1940. From the time of Edel's death in 1940 until the shop was opened as a museum, the shop was left virtually untouched. The place is filled with interesting history and a calendar from 1930 hangs on the wall. Displayed are Edel's tools and inventions. A helpful and informational guide is there tell you all you need to know. From Memorial Day to Labor Day, the shop is open from noon to 4 pm. There is no admission fee, but free-will offerings are accepted.
