This building was donated in 1968 by Thomas Neithamer. In 1970, it became the first village building to be opened to the public. In the days before mass-produced goods, people relied on the village blacksmith to provide them with metal objects from nails and hinges to axes and hoes.
Accessible sidewalk installed in 2025, funded in part by the W.S. and Lois VanDalson Foundation.
