Antietam Iron Furnace Site and Antietam Village
Antietam Iron Furnace Site and Antietam Village, Iron furnace archaeological complex in Washington County, United States.
The Antietam Iron Furnace Site spans 50 acres and contains stone foundations, a four-arch bridge, and multiple residential structures from the industrial period.
The iron furnace operated from 1768 to 1775, producing pig iron, stoves, and domestic wares during a crucial period of American industrial development.
The preserved village structures and industrial remnants demonstrate the integration of manufacturing facilities with workers' residential communities in colonial America.

The site includes a stone dam, water race, and wheel pit that showcase the early American engineering methods for harnessing water power.
