Lighting of the Forge Dedicates Myers Inn Barn |
||||
On
July 25th 2009, a
group of volunteers began the long task of moving a granary from
Bill and Sue Comisford on Blayney Road to 45 South Columbus Street
where it will be used as a Blacksmith's Shop and Livery Barn for the
Myers Inn Museum Exhibit. The first summer the men worked to
disassemble the barn and move the parts to the new location.
The second summer the barn was assembled with new siding and roof.
The third summer little progress was made because the State of Ohio
stopped progress. In May of 2013 the barn passed building
inspection and work began again. |

There is still work to be completed on the forge. Since it is for exhibit, there will not be a flame continually burning in it. Also the exhaust, the bellows and the sand pit will be finished before the blacksmith can use it. | ||||
