Abstract

This article is a presentation of the history of a smithy, located in the village of Porszewice, in Pabianicki County, Łodzkie Voivodeship. The forge was established at the beginning of the 20th century and worked almost uninterruptedly until 2012 when it was purchased by the Museum of Archaeology and Ethnography in Łodź. Throughout its existence, the forge was connected with the activities of the Gorniak family, who had a tradition of blacksmithing for over a century. Currently, the forge is open to the public at the Łeczycka Zagroda Chlopska open-air museum in Kwiatkowek, which is part of the Museum of Archaeology and Ethnography in Łodź.
