the Blacksmith

This is way more than a demonstration! Test your forging skills in the authentic historical experience your family has been waiting for! Our smiths have tailored experiences appropriate for all ages and skill levels. Feel the heat, swing the hammer, twist and stamp red out steel into handcrafted experiences your family will never forget. Leave with what you make. Our smiths will take the piece you forged and get it up to our Forged in Fire Championship standards. It's our shop, but YOU BECOME THE BLACKSMITH.

A great and unique experience ... it was a very interesting and hands on session that lasted roughly an hour and a half. Don't be afraid to swing is my recommendation!

My wife and I made horseshoe knives today and had an amazing time! We can't wait to take our kids.

April - Google

This place was amazing. My son learned so much and made an amazing knife! The staff was very friendly and we even got our picture with the famous Josh from Forge and fire!!

Forge in

Frankenmuth

We've forged an experience driven shop in the heart of Michigan's "Little Bavaria", an authentic re-creation of an entire German-inspired village. Our blacksmith shop is just a few minutes walk from downtown Frankenmuth, and the famous Bavarian Inn Lodge and Restaurant!

​

In addition to our handcrafted experiences, visitors will enjoy the architecture, floral gardens, streams, waterfalls, and of course, great shopping opportunities with over 40 stores and attractions in one location at Frankenmuth River Place Shops
