This furnace was built in 1827 by ironmasters John Jordan and John Irvine and was named for their wives. During the Civil War, iron produced here was used in the manufacture of Confederate Munitions.

Marker is at the intersection of Longdale Furnace Road (Virginia Route 269) and Iron Ore Lane, on the right when traveling west on Longdale Furnace Road.
