BISMARCK, N.D. – Bob McCay, an amateur blacksmith, will share his knowledge of the craft on July 3 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Welk Homestead State Historic Site near Strasburg. The Bismarck resident, a blacksmith for more than 10 years, learned the craft while working with others and enjoys demonstrating and teaching. The demonstration is free and open to the public.

Buildings are open to a limited number of visitors at one time, heightened cleaning protocols are in place, and some “high touch” experiences are closed at this time.
