Nice photos Bill, and a nice bit of history to go along with them.

Thanks Vince - I'm glad you liked the picture and enjoyed the history. As much as I like pictures, sometimes the story just makes then better.

Cornelius Farley founded the blacksmith shop after he and his wife emigrated from Ireland. The shop consisted of an open wood framed one story building built around 1850. In 1961, the shop was lifted onto a flat bed truck and moved to the southern portion of Johnson Park in Piscataway, NJ. The building was fully restored and opened as a historical site.

Hope you enjoy!


Very nice Bill

Great outside photos. Go inside-many wrought iron items made by blacksmiths hanging up. See wooden workbench -mortise and tenon design-no nails! Brick enclosed forge on display. Many anvils, and tools of trade.

Bill, excellent photos and wish it were closer. DDLs show off the sharpness of your photos.
