Did you know the Blacksmith Shop at the Jake Jackson Museum is more than a museum exhibit? Starting this October, it comes to life with real blacksmiths teaching classes inside the shop itself.

The shop is a replica of Weaverville's original Pioneer Blacksmith Shop, outfitted with tools from pioneer shops around Trinity County. It's a rare chance to learn a historic craft in the kind of space where it was once practiced every day.

Classes meet on Saturdays: Oct. 10 & 24, Nov. 14 & 28, and Dec. 12 & 26. Advance registration is required, so call the Jake Jackson Museum at (530) 623-5211 for information or to register.

Curious about the art of blacksmithing? Come down to the Hammer-In, October 29–31, and see what folks are doing. Smiths of all skill levels come to town to share their craft, and visitors are welcome. It's Halloween weekend too, so stick around Saturday when Main Street fills with trick-or-treaters.

Last week in the Trinity Journal's column, "News Back Then," this article about the graduating class of 1926 was included. Our past board presidents Beverly and Irl Everest shared a photograph of that graduating class. We thought you all might like to see those graduates from 1926!
