Codorus Forge and Furnace Historic District
Codorus Forge and Furnace Historic District, Industrial heritage site in Hellam Township, Pennsylvania, United States.
The district spans 7 acres and contains four buildings, including a 30-foot square iron furnace and a two-and-a-half-story ironmaster's house with nine bays.
Established in 1765 as Hellem Forge, this industrial complex received recognition on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991 for its iron production significance.
The Conservation Society of York County maintains the Codorus Furnace, preserving the technical achievements of early American iron manufacturing methods.
Recent improvements include new steps and safety railings leading to trails that connect the furnace to the Susquehanna Riverlands State Park.
The original charcoal house from 1836 remains on site, representing the fuel production methods essential for historical iron manufacturing processes.
