Fantastic time capsule preserved just like it was, everything left behind when they closed down the shop in the late sixties. Electrified by a single gasoline engine connected to a series of pulleys mounted to the ceiling. The fellow that showed us around was very nice and knowledgeable and enthusiastic. Two other guys were using a power hammer to shape a piece of steel, something I'd never seen before or knew existed. I grew up hanging out at my grandfather's shop, the late Honisek Tool and Die Co. and I am always into this kind of thing, but I was blown away repeatedly by the coolness. A must see, totally worth while way to spend a Sunday afternoon. Foundry attached with coal pile intact. Built in 1900 as they often were with many used machines, lots of late 1800s equipment around. Hardware store on the second floor also completely intact and fascinating. Right on the riverfront. No bathroom right at the shop but nice clean public bathroom in a little building right where you turn off the main road. Deserves ten stars!!! Thank you Mr. Young for leaving it all intact like you did and to Rivers of Steel and the historical society for preserving it.
GWas really interesting to see all of the belt driven machines! The place is well cared for. You can get up close to things and really get a good look! No ropes to stay behind here!!
Every parent should take their child there to take a step back in time where things made in the USA meant it was the best in the world. The enginuity and craftsmanship of the tools and equipment let alone the products they produced were amazing. Bly and company do an amazing job as custodians of a time long gone.
A step back in time, the docents are world class guys too!!! Go see it!!!
Interesting old place
