The smaller of Söderfors’s two anchor forges is preserved at Söderfors ironworks. The forges were erected in 1786, and the anchor forge operated until 1883. The former smithy is now a museum. Visitors can watch “Järnarvet” (“The Iron Heritage”), a slideshow about the iron heritage. The preserved forge and slideshow are the activities described for a visit.

No admission price, opening schedule, seasonal dates or visit length is given in the available description. It does not say whether the slideshow runs continuously or at set times, or whether visitors need to arrange a visit in advance. It gives no details about facilities, accessibility or transport. The description also does not mention tools or exhibits beyond the slideshow. Visitors can see the preserved smithy and view the iron-heritage presentation, but how much time to allow is not specified.
