Hopewell Furnace National Historic Site

Hopewell Furnace National Historic Site presents the opportunity of experiencing one of the earliest forerunners of early American industrialization by observing demonstrations of the working and living styles of the people who helped to transform the country from its rural roots into an industrial giant. These programs are presented during the summer months complete with farm animals and apple orchard. There are also interpretive resources, both text and audio devices located within the buildings for self-guided tours, while the park visitor center and museum offers exhibits, a short film and audio/visual programs. The grounds include dozens of historic buildings built between the original founding of the iron furnace in 1771 through the 1800's. There is also 848 acres of primarily wood landscape offering trails leading to other areas; such as the surrounding French Creek State Park. French Creek conserves and preserves the natural resources which provided the furnace with its raw materials. Trails at Hopewell Furnace provide opportunities for hikers, wildlife enthusiasts and birdwatchers. There is also a mile long trail leading to the Bethesda Church, where this Historic building and adjoining cemetery, which was built in 1782 traces back to some of the original craftsmen who worked the iron furnace. This small congregation was an essential element of life for the community who resided at Hopewell.
