The Rest of the Story

Cornwall Iron Furnace is one of the best preserved and best documented charcoal furnaces in the world. Despite these accolades, mysteries remain regarding historical operations of the furnace from 1742 until 1883. This presentation highlighted some of the mysteries and focus on the closure of the furnace after 141 years of operation. “The Rest of the Story” featured recent research using primary sources to help resolve these historical mysteries. The presenter, Michael Weber, volunteers as a guide, researcher, and lecturer at Cornwall Iron Furnace. As a 1982 geosciences graduate from Penn State, Mike worked for 36 years as a geologist, health physicist, and manager for the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission and the U.S. Geological Survey. After retiring from Federal service, he returned to Cornwall Furnace, where he serves as a guide and researches the history of mining and the geology at Cornwall and similar deposits in PA. He is the author of “Always More Production,” a history of the mining operations at Cornwall.
