Immerse yourself in the craft of a blacksmith at Catoctin Mountain Park and forge some new memories!
Learn how the blacksmith, or smithy, used their skills to mold and repair tools, weapons, and household objects crucial for everyday life in Appalachia. Discover the role played by the blacksmith in the creation of the park’s infrastructure and their influence on everyday life in a mountain community.
This in-person live demonstration will be hosted the last Saturday of each month, from May to October, at the Blacksmith Shop in Camp Round Meadow from 11:00am – 2:00pm.
