Blacksmith For a Day I

Join the skilled tradesmen of the historic Fort Snelling to try blacksmithing under the direction of the smith. You'll select a project, work the forge, pound out the hot metal, and shape the iron using hammer and tongs as it was done two centuries ago. Participants will be able to take their finished projects home. Children ages 13-17 must be accompanied by an adult.

Reservations: required, call 612-726-1171 or register online.
