From the Exchange Place website (link below):
"The Blacksmith Shop - Mr. Gaines would not recognize this building in its present location. The original shop looked like this but stood about a half mile away. The blacksmith is essential for making and repairing many implements used on the farm. He also shoes the horses. Why does a blacksmith need a bellows? An anvil?"
Very basic shop with a forge, anvil, and some tools. Used limitedly by crafsmen during festivals.
