Bill,
There is a working blacksmith shop at Fort Larned National Historic Site,
near Larned, Pawnee Co., Kansas. Fort Larned was active in the years
1859-1878, just outside your range of interest.
See the Fort Larned National Historic Site web page <http://www.nps.gov/fols/>
for more information and a virtual tour, including shots of the blacksmith
shop.
