Cazenovia Blacksmith History Center

The Cazenovia Blacksmith History Center collects and presents the history of the blacksmith trade in the village of Cazenovia. Before cars and factory-made hardware, a village smith made and mended nearly everything metal, from horseshoes to hinges, and this center keeps that story alive for the village.

For anyone interested in local history or traditional trades, it adds a working-trades chapter to Cazenovia’s story alongside the village’s lake and historic homes. The center is a member of Caz Life Business, the Greater Cazenovia Area Chamber.
