Colonial Pennsylvania Farmstead: Forging the Revolution

Explore the vital role of blacksmiths in the ‘everyday revolution’ moving beyond the battlefield to the essential tools and hardware that kept colonial farms and households running during the conflict.

Participants will step up to the forge and gain hands-on experience and a final take home project under the instruction of the Farmstead’s experienced blacksmiths.

Due to the nature of the work, participants must be at least 16 years old, wear closed-toed shoes, and are requested to bring leather work gloves and safety glasses.
