Richfield Historical Society

Blacksmith Day
October 5, 2024

On a sunny crisp fall day, many visitors enjoyed the Richfield Historical Society's 3rd Blacksmith Day held at the Richfield Historical/Nature Park. This event relived the skills of blacksmiths long ago as they were an important element of any crossroad community.

The visitors enjoyed seeing blacksmiths demonstrating their talents as they hammered glowing metal and shaped it into a useful tool or decorative item.

There were numerous activities in the Pioneer Homestead area.

Hammering Metal	Shredding Cornstalks
Open Fire Cooking	Inside the Log Barn

Maple cotton candy is a special treat.

Of course, hot dogs and beverages were available for those who were hungry.

New this year was a Silent Auction.

Thank You to the Blacksmiths, Visitors and Volunteers
who made this event a success.
