Demonstration Day at Sutter's Fort: Blacksmithing

Join us for an informative (and fun) Demonstration Day at Sutter’s Fort State Historic Park on Saturday, September 21st!

View or participate in a variety of activities – many of which are part of our popular school field trip programs – such as hands-on stations, volunteer demonstrations, guided tours, and/or staff-led presentations covering the colonial impacts of Sutter’s Fort in the 1840s. This month’s “demonstration day” will focus on the historical and contemporary techniques of blacksmithing; aided by ongoing demonstrations provided by Sutter’s Fort SHP staff and instructors/smiths from Folsom Forge, Hippocampus Forge, and the California Blacksmith Association.

Visitors will also receive complimentary admission to the State Indian Museum – Demonstration Day only!
