Step back in time and experience history in action at MOTAT’s blacksmith forge every Sunday from 10am – 5pm.

MOTAT’s resident Blacksmith Andrew Hooper will show you the tricks of the trade including how to make horseshoes and other historic tools in his blacksmith’s forge in MOTAT’s Victorian Village.

Kids will be amazed by how easily Andrew can bend, hammer and shape hard metal into tools and cooking utensils.

MOTAT’s Victorian Village brings to life Auckland in the mid to late 1800s. The buildings, set in glorious gardens, encircle the Village Green and include the blacksmith’s forge and a chapel.

Bisected by tram lines, the streetscape beyond the Village includes a garage, general store, music shop and school house for your viewing pleasure. Kids will love taking a look at the restored buildings filled with collection objects, models and furnishings reflecting what life was like in early Auckland.

You can enjoy the blacksmith forge and Victorian Village as part of your entry fee to MOTAT. You can also enjoy the rest of the museum, free tram rides and the ‘I Am The Last Tram’ exhibition for one great price.
