As The Hammer Falls

Location of Wilderness Road State Park in Virginia

Where

Wilderness Road State Park, 8051 Wilderness Rd., Ewing, VA 24248.
Historic Martin's Station

When

July 12, 2025. 10:00 a.m. - 4:30 p.m.

With ties to England severed, all imports to the American colonies have abruptly ended. Firelocks, swords, axes, and knives are now necessary but in short supply. Blacksmiths across Virginia are being called upon. Without their knowledge, skill, and willingness to serve, the hopes of these new united colonies may be lost. Join the blacksmiths at Martin’s Station as they demonstrate their craft and talk about supplying a company at the onset of revolution.
