Listen to the hammer striking the anvil and step back to an era when blacksmithing was at the heart of village life. Established in 1876 by the Doddridge family, this historic site is one of the last remaining main street forges in Australia. Enduring economic hardship and technological change, today it stands as a testament to the skill and resilience of generations past.
This special site is operated by volunteers of the Angaston and Penrice Historical Society and supported by the Artist Blacksmiths Association of South Australia. It is an immersive experience for all ages – we welcome visitors to discover the stories of our district.
