Cornwall Iron Furnace

The Cornwall Iron Furnace in Cornwall, PA is America's most complete charcoal-fueled iron-making complex, and a unique survivor of the early American iron industry. Originally built by Peter Grubb in 1742, the furnace underwent extensive renovations in 1856-57 under its subsequent owners, and closed in 1883. This mid-19th century ironmaking complex survives today. At Cornwall, furnace, blast equipment, and related buildings still stand as they did over a century ago. Here visitors can explore the rambling Gothic Revival buildings where cannons, stoves, plus pig iron were cast, by men that labored day and night to satisfy the furnace’s appetite for charcoal, limestone, and iron ore.
Cornwall Iron Furnace, a National Historic Landmark District, is the only one of America’s hundreds of 19th century charcoal fueled blast furnaces to survive fully intact. Certainly, an interesting place to explore!!
