I read that there were new murals in the town of Dayton, VA. Lynn and I drove around town and found them on the side of a blacksmith shop. l
When I pulled into the parking lot of the shop, a horse and buggy followed me in. The driver unhitched his horse from the buggy and lead it into the bay of the shop. Soon I heard the metallic sound of horseshoes being tapped onto the horse's feet.
Dayton is in an agricultural area where there are Mennonite families.
Sharing with Monday Murals.
Wow, the blacksmith shop must have a lot of business.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the nice wall of murals Linda.
...a blacksmith shop isn't easily found these days!
ReplyDeleteSuper mural, and such a great wagon with modern rubber tires! Improvements over older styles! I had several ancestors who were blacksmiths.
ReplyDeleteAnd the seat is upholstered.
DeleteBlacksmiths must be in big demand in the countryside. Nice murals and I really like that wagon.
ReplyDeleteAh, there the blacksmith is still in demand.
ReplyDeleteThat is amazing! Makes you feel like the olden days!
ReplyDeleteNeat murals! I like the one of the basket of apples. Also, how interesting to find a blacksmith's shop.
