    Sloss Furnaces, a 32-acre National Historic Landmark, was a blast furnace that produced pig iron from 1882 to 1971. It is now a fascinating museum that allows visitors to see the plant in operation. Liquid iron from two furnaces was transported to casting sheds, where it was poured into sand-lined molds to create "pigs" that weighed around 110 lbs. It's the only 20th-century blast furnace in the United States restored for public use.
