End of an Era Reflecting on 236 Years of Mining at Cornwall

June 30, 1973, was the end of mining at Cornwall, Pennsylvania. This presentation is a retrospective look at the Cornwall Mines at the end of an era as we reflect on the legacy of more than two centuries of iron mining at Cornwall. The presentation highlighted the appearance of the mines and Concentrator Plants today, total amounts of ore produced, the industry that developed around the mines, and the miners and millers and their families that made this possible. This talk, "The End of an Era" is part of a series of talks hosted by the Cornwall Iron Furnace Associates and took place on Tuesday, June 13th, 2023. 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.
