Inscription. This shop was used by the farmer to make repairs to tools or to forge his own ironwork. Iron could be scarce, so a worn-out horseshoe might become part of a door hinge, as you can see here.

This blacksmith shop was brought here from Cades Cove, Tennessee.
 
Erected by National Park Service.
