Beginner Blacksmithing Classes Makes For A Memorable Father's Day

Austin's Jourdan-Bachman Pioneer Farms will host a Father's Day Weekend event where dads and their kids can learn a new skill.

AUSTIN, TX—This Father's Day, be sure to plan something special for dad to make it one to remember. The Jourdan-Bachman Pioneer Farms is a living history museum that interprets and preserves the histories and cultures of Central Texas during the 19th century, and will host two special beginner blacksmithing classes offered to dads and their accompanying children.

Father's Day Weekend at Jourdan-Bachman Pioneer Farms is a memorable event where dad and the kiddos can make a bottle opener from a railroad spike on Saturday, June 19 from 10 a.m. - noon or 1 p.m. - 3 p.m. Or come out Sunday, June 20 from 9 a.m. - 12 p.m., and make a fork and spoon and enjoy a special chuckwagon-style lunch for an additional charge at 1 p.m. at the museum's Town Square (scheduled for Sunday only).

Dad will enjoy his first beer free on both days to help kick off the Father's Day weekend, and visit the historic site to take part in a guided tour with dad (at 10:30 a.m. or 1:30 p.m.). For more information, visit the museum's website HERE.
