Blacksmith Rendezvous
Special Guests: Salt Fork Craftsmen
Many talented and knowledgeable artists and blacksmiths affiliated with the Salt Fork Craftsmen Association will hold their Regional meeting in Pawhuska to swap plans, ideas and consider the future Blacksmith shop that will acknowledge the original Osage Tribe’s blacksmith, Sid Delarue. Be sure to check out their website and don’t be surprised that blacksmiths can do much more than shoe horses!
http://www.saltforkcraftsmen.org
Located behind the Pawhuska Chamber of Commerce parking lot on Hwy 60. Built in 1872, the Blacksmith House was the first structure built in Pawhuska. The Osage Tribe built the house for their blacksmith, Delarue, to entice him to come to the undeveloped territory the Osage acquired when relocating to Indian Territory from their Kansas reservation. The two-story, five-room building is mad of sandstone, typical of an early settler’s home in the area.
