Cornwall Iron Furnace, Colonial ironworks and National Historic Landmark in Cornwall, Pennsylvania.
The Cornwall Iron Furnace features a massive stone blast furnace structure with its original blowing equipment and elaborate system of water wheels.
Established in 1742 by Peter Grubb, the furnace supplied essential iron materials during the American Revolution under the operation of his sons.
The industrial complex preserves the complete iron-making community, including the charging house, casting house, and connecting buildings from the 1700s.
Guided tours run Friday through Sunday at specific times, with admission fees ranging from free for children under 2 to $8 for adults.
This facility remains the sole surviving intact charcoal cold-blast furnace complex in the Western Hemisphere, maintaining its original plantation setting.
