About Greenwood Furnace

A 423-acre historic park preserving the remains of an ironmaking community that operated from 1834 to 1904. The ghost town of Greenwood, once supervised in part by Andrew Carnegie, features remaining buildings from its 127 original structures. A six-acre lake, swimming beach, and access to 80,000 acres of Rothrock State Forest attract visitors.
