It's really a hands-on learning experience at Heritage Acres, not only for volunteers but also for visitors. The scents and sights of the blacksmith shop are open to the public during events, with a rope keeping folks far from the coal-burning forge and sparks. They can see a hunk of old railing become a magic wand - with heating, pounding, heating twisting, heating twisting - complete with glass bead or marble topper.
