John Hirsch shaped metal in his shop in downtown Northville, where his tools and hot forge were vital to the community for crafting nails, repairing farm equipment, and making horseshoes. His shop operated from the mid-1800's until the 1920s, and it was reconstructed here guided by historic photographs. It opened here in 1985 with a blacksmith forge on the right and an exhibit space on the left.
