Olofsfors blast furnace, Working life museum in Olofsfors, Sweden.
The Olofsfors blast furnace site encompasses multiple preserved buildings and industrial equipment demonstrating traditional iron production methods from earlier centuries.
John Jennings established this blast furnace and forge facility in 1762 at the outlet of the Ledu River, three miles west of Nordmaling.
The museum exhibits document the daily experiences of industrial workers and the development of iron manufacturing techniques in northern Sweden.
Visitors can explore the industrial heritage site through guided tours that explain the iron production process and examine historical artifacts.
The facility initiated formal education eleven years before Sweden introduced public elementary schools, establishing an early connection between industry and learning.
