On Sunday, October 2, Keeler Tavern Museum & History Center (KTM&HC) will host a blacksmithing demonstration as part of its newly opened exhibit, HandsOnHistory (#HOH): It Takes a Village.
Featuring local blacksmiths Ralph Lapidus and Alan Horowitz, the demonstration is free to the public, an interactive way to learn about historic trades and tools from Ridgefield.
