In the Wagon Works Blacksmith shop you can pick up a lump of coal for some deserving friend and find out who was ‘naughty or nice’ when the Belsnickle, a traditional Pennsylvania German figure.  Pay us a visit! You'll meet our own Mr. Goris, the Tin Smith, hard at work crafting punched tin lanterns using tools that harken back to Hermann's early tin smith days.
