Candy Money buys a blacksmith shop

Colonial Williamsburg is planning on adding a blacksmith shop and armory to it's list of historical re-creations. Thanks goes to the former Mars, Inc., CEO Forrest E. Mars Jr. for donating $4.5 million in order to fund the project. The site will be where a current blacksmith is located. The shop will feature blacksmiths forging and repairing firearms and tinsmiths creating military accessories. What a gift for a smithy! The Pilot Online is covering the story.
