Shaftsbury’s Moon blacksmith shop on East Street, a longtime landmark and 1880s fixture run by the Moon family, has been demolished by town crews after decades of rust and neglect. The building, later used for millwright and woodwork, was bought by the Palmers in 1945 and finally cleared for road salt storage before burning remains were hauled to the town dump.
