Construction of the Blacksmith Shop in Greenfield Village, 1929
01
Artifact Overview
In 1929, Henry Ford instructed Edward Cutler, Ford's Greenfield Village architect, to design and build a stone blacksmith shop. Cutler's building initially served as a place to shoe the horses used in the Village, house blacksmith tools, and demonstrate the fast-disappearing craft of blacksmithing. Over the years the structure's mission has evolved with new Village initiatives.
