Greenwood Furnace State Park
Greenwood Furnace State Park, Historic iron furnace and state park in Jackson Township, Pennsylvania.
The 423-acre park contains a six-acre lake, historic buildings, and multiple trails surrounded by the expansive 80,000-acre Rothrock State Forest.
From 1834 to 1904, the iron furnace operated at temperatures of 3,000 degrees Fahrenheit, producing five tons of pig iron ingots daily.
The park preserves remnants of an industrial village, including worker houses, a company store, stables, and a blacksmith shop from the 19th century.
The park office operates Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM, with camping facilities available from mid-April through late December.
The glow from the furnace fires once illuminated the entire village at night, allowing residents to walk without lanterns during industrial operations.
