Marty Foil
“Hey! I’m Marty Foil, Concord native and a member of the Rosedale Blacksmith Team since Dec of 2023! Currently I am serving as the lead blacksmith, helping to schedule all of our smiths to maximize the Rosedale guest experience and keep the blacksmith shop stocked and running smoothly. I’ve been a blacksmith for almost 12 years and really enjoy teaching guests about the enslaved smiths of Rosedale and the impact they had across the broader Mecklenburg community as well as demonstrating the craft of 19th century blacksmithing. Come visit me at the forge sometime! Happy to discuss the history of our Rosedale smiths, the role of blacksmiths in the 19th century community, blacksmithing in general or anything that comes to mind! The forge is a fun place to hang out and chat!”
