Hopewell Furnace

2008.05.01

The restored roof of the cast house.

The remains of an anthracite coal furnace. The stone work is amazing!

View of the side of the anthracite coal furnace.



Someone told me once that it's unlucky to hang a horseshoe upside down, because it lets all the luck run out. Not sure where that superstition originated, but it was obviously not known to the individual who hung this horseshoe. There are yellow horseshoes throughout Hopewell Furnace, they mark the Horseshoe Trail between Hopewell Furnace Historical Site and French Creek State Park.

A few miscellaneous photos of nothing in particular from Hopewell Furnace. It rained here today AGAIN, and I'm trying not to get cranky - I need sun! Wish I could trade Coyoteself some of our rain for some of his sun - he tells me things are bone dry in New Mexico. Guess maybe I shouldn't complain.... ;)
