Kendra, The nicest shop I know of that's closest to your period is at Doon Heritage Village in Kitchener, Ontario. Contact Tom Reitz for more info: http://waterlooregionmuseum.com/contact-us.aspx. Doon's shop is very nice and is interpreted to their period of ca. 1914, which reflects the transition from horse-based rural transportation to automobiles. As such, the shop's interpretation deals with the blacksmith's role in that community as not only tending horseshoes and mending/making farm implements and such, but also repairing/replacing parts for automobiles.
