Juniata Iron

Along the streams of this region are ruins of many charcoal iron furnaces and forges built between 1790-1850. Juniata iron was the best in America. Its reign ended with the rise of coal and coke iron making.

Marker is on U.S. 22/522 near Spruce Drive, on the right when traveling west.
