Built of stone and brick, this iron-smelting furnace operated from the late 1830s until 1883, with a 7-year pause in the 1860s because of the Civil War.

Nowadays, the furnace is an interesting historical landmark that draws many visitors. You might also see through-hikers on the River to River Trail camping in the trees near the furnace, or down by the creek.
