This season of "Meeteetse Stories" explores a sampling of the trades and industries of early Meeteetse. The blacksmith shop was the first building in Meeteetse so it seems fitting to kick this season off with learning about blacksmithing! We'll speak to Alex Pole and Ken Schwarz to learn about blacksmithing and Kelsey Kehoe to learn about the geology of coal in the area. Alex Pole is the owner of The Forge and author of "Blacksmith: Apprentice to Master" and "The Forge Kitchen." You can find him at www.alexpoleironwork.com. Ken is the master blacksmith at the blacksmith shop in Colonial Williamsburg (www.colonialwilliamsburg.org). Kelsey is a geologist at the Wyoming State Geological Survey (www.wsgs.wyo.gov).
