Situated in the very heart of Grafton Village is its own unique historic Blacksmith Shop.

 

Owned by the Windham Foundation, and operated by noted blacksmith and educator Adam Howard, the shop's mission is the furtherance of the art of blacksmithing and the sharing of its vital role past and present in the daily life, economy, and community of Grafton and rural Vermont.

 

The shop is host to visitors from far and near including numerous school groups and others interested in learning about this ancient art and its contemporary applications and is home to Grafton's annual autumn Blacksmith's Festival  drawing crafters, vendors, demonstrators and enthusiasts from across the United States and Canada.

 

In addition to the highest quality ironware and custom orders produced on-site, the shop also houses a fascinating collection of historic tools, artifacts and contemporary works on a rotating basis.

 

Workshops, internships, and apprenticeships are available to those interested in a more intensive education.
