Linda,

I acutally did a site visit over the weekend.
Their regular blacksmith shop is in excellent condition.
I discussed with them about us having the meeting on site that day and they were extremely enthusiastic about the idea.

The area of the iron pour is enclosed in a fenced area for safety.
They mentioned that they sell the scratch blocks, about 150, and they sell out in minutes.

This looks like a good site to bring the trailer, and set up for the open forge.
A day similar to May at Mountain park.
I will continue talking with them and confirm more details.

They did mention having additional blacksmiths come out and work in their shop.
The shop is a good walk behind the Nature Center.
If you want to visit, view and possibly use the shop, contact me.
They are encouraging period reenactment of the 1860's.
