	Come visit the Historic Village at Allaire and see how a 19th Century Tradesman practiced his craft. Visit the Blacksmith Shop for demonstrations in making the day to day essentials like horse shoe nails, tools and household items. Visitors to the Blacksmith's can also see demonstrations in sand molding and casting, the primary business of the Howell Works in the early 19th Century. Visitors to the Carpenters will see these tradesmen using hand tools to fashion the patterns used by the casters and molders, as well as making and repairing household items and even toys. Try your luck at figuring out their wood puzzle. While at the Carpenter's step into the back where the Village Wheelwright is hard at work hand fashioning the wheels and spokes used on both the Company vehicles as well as the private carriages used by the Allaire Family. Don't forget to stop at the Tinsmith's Shop, located at the bottom of the hill behind the Blacksmith's where our itinerant tinsmith is busy making household items such as lanterns and candle holders, pots and even lunch boxes and match cases. Visit Historic Christ Church Chapel where James Allaire's daughter Maria was wed. The chapel was also home to the Howell Works Company School. Need to take the steamer to New York? Stop by the Carriage House where the Howell Works Stage Depot was located and gain an understanding of early 19th Century travel. Stroll through the other historic sites and ruins. Don't forget to see the exhibits in the Arthur brisbane educational center located in the Enameling Building, once used to finish the iron items produced at the Howell Works. Visit the Historic Village at Allaire and step back in time to see the industrial workings of an early 19th Century Iron Producing Community at the Village Trades Shops.
