Visit the Cornwall Iron Mines which turned out to be the largest United States' iron deposit east of Lake Superior, and were once the largest open-pit iron mines in the world. They were mined continuously until 1973, totaling 234 uninterrupted years of production. You can also see the Cornwall Iron Furnace which began production in 1742. The operation also included the Hopewell Forges on nearby Hammer Creek. In 1798 it was taken over by Robert Coleman and his family. Cornwall Furnace was in production from 1742 until 1883, and appears today much as it was when production ended. In 1932 the Coleman family deeded the property to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and it is now a designated National Historic Landmark open to the public.
