The Furance Town Blacksmith guild

The Furnace Town Blacksmith Guild was founded in 1994 and has operated in the Elijah Stanton Adkins blacksmith shop ever since.

The Furnace Town Blacksmith guild is a working guild that practices historic and, modern smithing styles. The Blacksmith guild holds monthly working meetings where they will practice their craft and make items for the Furnace Town gift shop. Visiting Furnace Town during the Blacksmith meeting is a great time to see the Smiths at work.

Meetings are held on the first Saturday of every month.

If you are interested in joining the Blacksmith Guild, come out to one of the meetings and try it out! Anyone over 18 years old can join the guild.

How to become a Guild Member; Yearly Blacksmith Guild memberships are 55$ and can be purchased in the Furnace Town Visitor Center. Guild memberships also get you free admission to Furnace Town Historic Site.
