New blacksmith’s shop coming to Fred Light Museum
Battleford’s Fred Light Museum is seeing some new growth as it constructs a new blacksmith’s shop for the local tourist attraction.
Board member Dan Schweitzer said it’s good to see the museum continue to stay strong.
“Eagle Hills Community Club, located south of Battleford, donated funds for us to do this,” said Schweitzer. “I think it’s a heck of a good thing. This is just something that came up, and we had the money to do it. So we decided to do it. We always want to move forward.”
The new blacksmith shop is currently under construction by volunteers at the back of the museum and should be completed later in October. Blacksmith demonstrations will start next spring when the museum opens for the season.
