The Community of Trinity has long been recognized as an important part of Newfoundland's history and is one of the oldest established communities in the Province, and the Trust recognizes the restoration work now completed on the Green Family Forge. The Green Family has practised as blacksmiths in Trinity since the late 1700s and five generations have pursued the trade beginning with John James Green who built this forge between 1895 and 1900 and ending with Andrew Green in 1955. The Forge located on West Street at Dandy Lane was left virtually intact since last used in 1955.

In 1990 Ada Nemec daughter of Andrew Green donated the Forge to the Trinity Historical Society. Designated as a Registered Heritage Structure by the Heritage Foundation of Newfoundland and Labrador in 1991 both the forge and its artifacts underwent restoring. The roof was repaired and the windows and doors and clapboard were restored.

After it was opened in 1991, it was discovered that the two chimneys were not properly operational. With a grant from the Heritage Foundation the two forges were restored to fully operational condition in 1995. In 1992 fifteen hundred artifacts made of iron were cleaned and dipped in a preservation solution. These items are now on display. Wooden walkways were constructed and set into the earthen floor to prevent the transfer of dirt and debris to the footwear of visitors. The building and forges are now fully operational. In 1997, over 5,500 visitors viewed the Forge and its artifacts.
