The Blacksmith's Window

The Blacksmith's view from the workbench in a reconstructed Blacksmith shop from eighteenth century Ulster, Ireland. The 1700s shop and forge were relocated and reconstructed in the Frontier Culture Museum in Staunton, Virginia. Colonies with commercial ties to Ireland's northernmost province of Ulster recruited Blacksmith's and other skilled craftsmen to journey to America to provide badly needed services.
