Founded with the desire to preserve and pass on the knowledge, art, and skill of metal working, Iron Mountain is a metal workshop located in scenic Pigeon Forge. Operated by "Forged in Fire" fan favorite Robby Bowman, guests can try their hand at blacksmithing and iron forging. Different from nearby tourist attractions, Iron Mountain offers a family entertainment experience that leaves visitors with a custom knife crafted under the careful supervision of an experienced blacksmith. With lessons on knife manufacturing, visitors can learn the forging process to create knives from nails, horseshoes, pony shoes, or railroad spikes. Appointments for lessons are required, and some have age requirements, so be sure to call the showroom to schedule your experience in advance.
