A blacksmith was a necessity in any part of Canada in early Western history: not only did they provide shoes for horses, but they created and mended metal tools, and did all manner of maintenance jobs that would be impossible to do otherwise. Spruce Grove's first blacksmith was built even before Mr. McNabb built the log building that would serve as the post office, indicating just how valuable this job and building was. Many different blacksmiths were inaugurated from then on, founded by locals and immigrants alike, and their shared history is long, fruitful, and sometimes even humorous.Click here to view the page of "As The Roots Grow" that tells the story of blacksmithing in Spruce Grove.
