A Journey To The 1700s Irish Forge |
Background Blacksmiths are craftsmen that fashion tools and implements from iron and steel. The fact that blacksmiths were among the most numerous craftsmen in a community attests to their importance. The Ulster Forge is a blacksmith shop that stood in County Fermanagh of the Irish province of Ulster, in what is now Northern Ireland. Like their farming customers in Ulster, blacksmiths and their skills immigrated to America along with other Ulster Scots. |
