This special event shows off the amazing skills of Alberta Blacksmiths at the site of our 1902 shop, and serves as one of the Lacombe Museum’s most important fundraisers. Blindman Brewery will be on-site for the weekend, as well as an Alberta Farmers Market-approved Artisan Market.

 

Guided tours and blacksmith demonstrations by our heritage interpreters occur throughout the day in Alberta’s oldest blacksmith shop.

For the first time in years, we are able to run our triphammers in the Blacksmith Shop Museum. At 11:00 AM and 2:30 PM, there will be triphammer demonstrations inside the shop.

The COOP BBQ will start at 12pm, until supplies run out.

Our downtown walking tour will take place in the afternoon. The tour guide will leave the Hammer-In at 12:50, to go to the Michener House Museum, and begin the tour from there.
