Buchanan Furnace

A short distance NW of here is the well-preserved cold blast furnace, named for James Buchanan. It was built in 1844; abandoned, 1858, due to lack of timber. At the time of its operation, the iron industry was very prosperous in Clarion County.

Marker is on Pennsylvania Route 58 0.1 miles north of Main Street (Pennsylvania Route 368), on the right.
