I agree. I have been to all of them, having first learned blacksmithing at
old sturbridge village, and I spend a whole lot of time at the Higgins. The
saugus ironworks is also very nice if you go when it isn't raining. They
actually have a blacksmithing demonstration, though it is pretty much just
nailmaking. Throughout the city there's some interesting ironwork. If you
keep an eyepeeled while driving, you will undoubtably see some interesting
stuff. I have not been to the city in 3 years, though (and don't plan to be
there for another 400! I hate cities!) so I don't know exactly what you
will see.
Take Care,
