I can't let the opportunity pass to tell you all that Robert Vaughan is one of the finest interpreters of historical trades I have seen on four continents. A blacksmith (among many other things!), he has a wonderful way with visitors of all ages and is truly a joy to watch in action. The Smith Falls Railway Museum is an unusual and VERY interesting museum and should not be missed by visitors to eastern Ontario. What other museum would have a DENTAL car in their collection? What Robert DIDN'T tell you is that he is also on staff of the Billings Estate here in Ottawa, an historic property well worth visiting. Robert just sent me an email to say that he had finished fabricating an iron tripod for my companion Sue, who does 1750-1840 period cooking demonstrations. All right, Robert! How much of it is held together with duct tape???!!!
