Hammer in 2018

Come out and watch blacksmiths as they demonstrate their skills using 18th century tools and methods at the Fortress of Louisbourg National Historic Site. From morning to late afternoon blacksmiths from across Nova Scotia will practice their art and may invite you to take part as well! Blacksmithing is an ancient art that is worth protecting. This year there is focus on youth engagement and we have approximately 8-10 youth coming to learn and practice this ancient art.
