Blacksmiths of Napa County
Sunday, February 14, 2010
2:30 p.m.
FREE
Napa County Historical Society invites you to a discussion about one of the earliest trades in Napa County: blacksmithing. At a time when horses and carriages ruled the roads, someone had to make, repair and fit horseshoes. Blacksmiths not only cared for the needs of the horses, but many also built wagons, wheels and tools. Blacksmiths were an integral part of society-their trade needed by all who traveled by horse. During the program Jules Evans-White, the Society’s Research & Volunteer Coordinator, will share her research on the trade of blacksmiths, local blacksmiths and an in-depth summary of Henry Haus, whose blacksmith shop still stands today in Pope Valley and will be open for tours on Saturday, April 10th.
