Heart of the Village: Memories of The Blacksmith Shop

Creator(s): Gaspesian British Heritage Village

Until very recently, the blacksmith was an extremely important and vital member of the community. Almost every small town and village had its own smithy, and the blacksmith's services and knowledge were required by all. This exhibit is devoted to the blacksmiths who lived and worked in the small communities dotting the Gaspé Coast of Québec.
