About us

We  are  a  family of blacksmiths living in the Wisconsin "Big Woods" region written about by Laura Ingalls-Wilder in her Little House books.  Dan began his blacksmith career interpreting history at the living history museum Old World Wisconsin.  He is self-taught and has taught his sons the craft of blacksmiting.  Dan has taught courses in Blacksmithing at UW-Stout, UW-River Falls, and several museums in the Upper Midwest.
