I have been meaning for us to go to the Skinner Farm Museum for a while now...I just found out about it by chance when looking at a list of round barns a while back. I quickly got on Google Earth to see if it was still there, and it was. Today was the first time I remembered it when we actually had the time to stop. For this Tuesday's Treasures, I am showing you a few shots from the Blacksmith's Shop. Notice the huge bellows there in the corner in the above photo!
See that barrel back against the wall? It is made from a single wooden log....it is too wide to fit through a normal door. There was no way for Roger to stand beside to just the proportion.
Everywhere we looked, there was more and more.
I hope you enjoyed these photos from the Blacksmiths shop....
What a great place! I'd enjoy that.
ReplyDeleteA Farm Museum - something to keep for future generations to remember farming, the way it was done, back in the day!
ReplyDeleteNice share, Rose!
Have a Happy Week!!
Peace :)
This place gave an opportunity take some very nice photos. It looks like a very interesting place to visit. I liked seeing all the antique tools and things.
ReplyDeleteYes, I enjoyed your photos very much. Great collection!
ReplyDeleteExcelente trabalho e belas fotos.
ReplyDeleteUm abraço e continuação de uma boa semana.
Great find! What an interesting place to view all the old farming tools.
ReplyDeleteI love these types of museums, all cluttered!
ReplyDeleteHi Rose, I really did enjoy seeing the photos of all this great stuff. What a lot of history in this space. That barrel would be fabulous on a patio or deck. Thanks for taking the time to stop and take these photos.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lot of stuff in that museum. It is everywhere. No wonder Roger could not get alongside the barrel to compare sizes...I am surprised you were able to get as good photos as you did. So glad you all had time to stop. Am in bed...back.
ReplyDeleteVery cool . A guys delight!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed the blacksmith's shop very much. It's too bad they do not have the room to spread all these items out so they could be seen better.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great place to visit. I would love to go to a Smithy's shop. My late husband was a horseshoer before he got too old-(LOL) He loved working in the fire and making shoes. Nowadays that's not done too much.

We have a local living history museum and the blacksmith shop is one of my favorite buildings. I often try to think back to the days when the blacksmith was an important part of daily like. Thanks for sharing this week Rose and please hurry in back.
ReplyDeleteA blacksmith's shop is always a great thing (we have one still working here), how good, that they save it as a museum!
ReplyDeleteGreetings from Germany
that is a lot of treasures in one place. when i saw the fireplace i thought that is a treasure because it is up high enough i could use it without bending/stooping/kneeling.
ReplyDeleteWow...a rust lover's dream come true. Awesome place!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fascinating spot. Is it still fired up?
ReplyDeleteWow! A tresaure trove just jam packed with detail and old tools!
ReplyDeleteLooks like my father's workshop years ago when he passed.
ReplyDeleteBlacksmith shops are fascinating! We have a nice one in our Barron County Historical Society Museum. Love your photos. So much cool stuff! And what would we do without Google Earth! BTW, Mr. C. goes on GoogleEarth once in a while to check in on a town in Scotland that bears the same name as our village here in Wisconsin. Long Distance Snooping! LOL
ReplyDeleteI have always enjoyed seeing old blacksmith shops. This ne is filled with wonders...enjoyed the photos very much!
ReplyDeleteWhat an interesting museum and blacksmith shop. The bellow in your first photo is so huge, I have never seen it with such a size. All photos are so awesome.
ReplyDeleteI did enjoy them Rose.. I can't believe how much stuff there is in that relatively small space. So many mysterious 'tools' :) You captured the feel of the space so well, it would have been a difficult shoot.
ReplyDeleteWow! Love those treasures you found to photograph.
