Blacksmith

We are looking for a blacksmith who would love to share their talent and skills with school-age children and adult visitors to Patrick Henry’s Red Hill.

Red Hill is Patrick Henry’s last home and burial place, located in the heart of Southside Virginia.

Responsibilities include demonstrating blacksmithing skills during our Living History field trips, allowing children to have a hands-on experience with a historical trade. You would also be asked to demonstrate blacksmithing during our special events, which would include adults as well as children. Our living history field trips take place in the mornings during the work week.

Experienced blacksmiths are preferred, but no experience is needed. Training is available by our current blacksmith. If you love history and working with the public, this may be the perfect opportunity for you!
