Mural on a Blacksmith Shop.

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.

  3. Super mural, and such a great wagon with modern rubber tires! Improvements over older styles! I had several ancestors who were blacksmiths.
