Pioneer Village has a working blacksmith shop with a coal-fired forge. If you didn't know, a blacksmith is a person who makes and repairs things in iron by heating, hammering, and forging by hand. If you visit Pioneer Village on Sundays or Fridays you may be treated to a demonstration of the blacksmith's trade by "Mr. Snitch", one of two part-time resident blacksmiths. Mr. Snitch has been smithing for many years and enjoys regaling visitors with stories from the trade and perhaps a sea chantey or two. Stop by and say hello!
