    Description
    Hopewell Furnace showcases an early American industrial landscape and the essential role of industrialization in the growth of the early United States. Operating from 1771-1883, Hopewell and other “iron plantations” laid the foundation for the transformation of the United States into an industrial giant
    .
    The primary story emphasis of Hopewell is on the first half of the 19th century – the era of its greatest prosperity. The decline of Hopewell, which ended with its final blast in 1883, began in 1844 – the end of stove casting at the furnace. The inevitable end of the charcoal furnace at Hopewell, and other charcoal furnace sites, was postponed by the Civil War and the growth of railroads that created a greater demand for iron.
    Hopewell Furnace National Historic Site in southeastern Berks County, near Elverson, Pennsylvania, is an example of an American 19th century rural "iron plantation." [wiki and nps]
