postleg Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 I went down to Summerfield, KS today to see the Transue Brothers Blacksmith and Wagon shop. It was their 2nd annual open house. The shop has been in the same location since 1889. It has had only four owners in that time. Here is a link to their web site ( hopefully this type of link is still allowed ) transueblacksmith.org. I will also attach some pics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njanvilman Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 Is the shop still producing anything, or just a "demonstration" shop of what was? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bentiron1946 Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 Nice looking old shop. http://www.transueblacksmith.org/Home_Page.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
postleg Posted August 18, 2013 Author Share Posted August 18, 2013 They do some demos but more or less a museum. It was cool to see a shop as it was in the 1800's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaughnT Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 That's very nice. I could spend an hour or two just walking around looking at all the old stuff! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old South Creations Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 wow, need old shop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyr Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 I stopped by there Saturday morning and ended up hanging out there for well over 3 hours just checking out all the old equipment and watching the two demonstrators. It was the largest working shop I've ever come across before, awesome place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
