Laconia, Lake Village had more than its share of machine shops back in the 1800's. There was a Weirs Time article not too long ago about many patents giving to the proprieters of machine shops in the area.

There was an iron foundry in laconia back in the days. The smoke stack is still standing in downtown Laconia. The building is gone. The iron foundry was producing rifle barrels in the '70's
