Also see . . . Site Number 22. Newmarket Walking Tour: Frank E. Lang came from a family of four generations of New Hampshire blacksmiths. In 1886 he purchased an old blacksmith shop on this site. Needing more space, he had this building constructed in 1891. What with stagecoach, farm horses and racehorses to shoe, the stand could tend to upwards of 20 horses a day. Mr. Lang continued his business here until 1941. (New Market Historical Society) (Submitted on November 13, 2024, by Duane and Tracy Marsteller of Murfreesboro, Tennessee.)
