Moratock Park, Protected area with iron furnace in Danbury, United States.
Moratock Park spans across 9 acres along the Dan River, featuring the remains of a 19th-century iron furnace near Highway 89.
The iron furnace, constructed in 1843, experienced destruction during the Civil War when Union cavalry under George Stoneman conducted operations in 1865.
The National Register of Historic Places recognized the site's industrial heritage by including it on July 30, 1974, preserving North Carolina's manufacturing history.
Visitors can access the park's historical structures and natural areas through designated paths that connect to the main entrance off Highway 89.
The furnace remains stand as physical evidence of North Carolina's industrial development and the Civil War's impact on local manufacturing facilities.
