Iron Works Weekend

Immerse yourself in Iron Works Weekend, an exciting program exploring the history of iron making in the Housatonic Valley at the Kent iron Works site. The event will include special tours, exhibits, and an iron smelting demonstration, marking the second iron smelting on the site since the furnace's closure in 1892. 

Master blacksmiths will smelt iron with a bloomery furnace using traditional methods and techniques. Enjoy free admission to the museum and programs Saturday & Sunday from 10AM - 4PM. 

We are thrilled to partner with the Early American Industries Association, the Kent Historical Society, the Sharon Historical Society & the Connecticut Antique Machinery Museum to make this event possible.
