The anvil where horseshoes were made and the bellows that stoked the forge's fire were the beating heart and breathing lungs of this ranch for over one-hundred years. The blacksmith shop was one of the first structures built here in the 1860's, probably to service travelers and their livestock passing through Cottonwood Valley (now called Red Rock Canyon) on their way to Los Angeles on the Old Spanish Trail. Shoeing draft animals and repairing wagons and tools kept this building in constant use
