Inscription. The Fiddlers Grove Blacksmith Association was organized in 1992 and held their first meetings in Mr. Luther's Blacksmith Shop. However, the old shop was not adequate to teach and demonstrate to the large number of applicants wanting to learn the ancient art of blacksmithing. The Association members designed and built the new blacksmith shop in 1998. The instructors schedule classes and demonstrations on a year round system. The association is very active in all functions in Fiddlers Grove. They demonstrate in the new shop and Mr. Luther's Blacksmith Shop during the Wilson County Fair and on many other occasions. Many of the hand made items are often for sale. (Marker Number 40.)
