About the Event

Cost: $100

The history of blacksmithing on this site extends back to 1890, when John Durham built the brick two-story building as a livery. Starting in 1917 Herman Bekken operated it as H.M. Bekken Horseshoeing & General Repairing, and the Bekken family lived there until 1985.

The History Center’s “On Location” series invites attendees to gather in unique spaces and places for an exclusive view of the area’s historical richness. This evening series pairs wine and refreshments with an informal and engaging history tour. Join us on select Thursdays this spring to (re)discover historic cottages, businesses, and institutions across the Lakeshore area.

Ticketed Series – $100 per person, including all four locations.
