Cornwall Iron Furnace Tour
Details
Cornwall Iron Furnace in Cornwall, Pennsylvania, is the only surviving intact charcoal cold-blast furnace in the Western Hemisphere, a National Historic Landmark that operated from 1742 to 1883, producing iron for the nation's industry. Originally built by Peter Grubb, it was later owned by the Coleman family, who renovated it extensively in the mid-19th century, and it is now preserved as a museum by the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission.
5-minute drive to Bluebird Inn for a late lunch, which I will post separately.
