We have a mid-19th century forge on our private property in Andover, Mass.
The folks at Saugus, Mass were very helpful and have an operating forge.

Subject:  [MUSEUM-L] Blacksmith Forge

We are in the process of setting up a ca. 1920 smithy that was once part of
a carriage factory facility.  The building has been restored and we do plan
on using the rebuilt forge for blacksmithing.  The rest of the space will be
set up for interpretation.  Does anybody here have a restored or recreated
blacksmith forge at their site?  I would love to bounce some ideas off
others, as well as inquire about certain things that would/would not be
period appropriate.
 
You can respond to me offlist.
 
Thanks!
