EAIA Regional Meet Saturday, Oct 11th, 2025 Moses Wilder Blacksmith Shop in Bolton, MA
Please join us for a Saturday of interest, learning, and camaraderie! This event is open to the public, please join us.
A regional meeting sponsored by the Early American Industries Association will be held at the reconstructed Moses Wilder Blacksmith Shop in Bolton, MA. The shop was reconstructed on the site of the original shop, moved to Old Sturbridge Village in 1957.
The event will feature a demonstration by master blacksmith Jennifer Petrila followed by the opportunity for attendees to try their hand at blacksmithing. Four setups (forge, post vice, anvil & tools) will be supervised by experienced smiths for the use by attendees and a light lunch will be provided. We would like to focus particularly on young people who have not tried blacksmithing but have expressed an interest. Attendance will be limited to 25 and reservations are required. Please contact Bob Roemer at rer@roemer.com
Regional meetings help EAIA to remain a strong, close-knit, and supportive organization. We look forward to seeing you there!
