Workers put up the walls of the model blacksmith shop in Dover's Ketterman Park.
Call it a recycling project.
The Greater Dover Historical Society has salvaged stuff from an old blacksmith shop in Dover and assembled it in a reconstructed model at Ketterman Park.
The park is located on Butter Road behind Dover Elementary School.
To get a view of how the project evolved, see the slide show at www.ydr.com/history.
