The Nicol’s Blacksmith Shop has been a part of Duntroon life for over 100 years.

Its future was uncertain until four local farmers purchased the Blacksmith Shop in 1975. In more recent times, the Nicol’s Blacksmith Historic Trust was formed and ownership was transferred to the Trust.

New Zealand Historic Places Trust’s recent classification as catergory one, recognises it is as place of national significance, emphasising its authenticity and importance in telling the story of the role of the horse in the development of this nation.

Open with a blacksmith giving demonstrations on Saturdays from Labour weekend through until Queen's birthday weekend.

Other days (all year) the blacksmith shop is open for viewing only.
