Hay Creek A Celebration Of Early America
MORGANTOWN (Berks Co.) Every September a
small community of those committed to the life of Early
America comes alive at Joanna Furnace in the southern
corner of Berks County. The attraction is Hay Creek
Fall Festival a site of living history.
This historic festival is located on a site abundant with
woodland for charcoal, limestone and contains water
ways that were an excellent power source for the once
thriving iron industry and supporting community. A
product of its era, the furnace came about from the ef
forts of only a few men. A few men grew to be a whole
community, now evidenced in the many building’s on
site at the festival. There is the casting house where
items such as cannon balls, sash and gate weights, hol
lowware and box stoves were once made. The massive
charcoal storage building houses many of the site’s arti
facts and is the showcase of Joanna Furnace restoration.
During the 1800 s, the finer aspect of community life was
present in the ironmaster’s mansion and carriage house.
The good news is that restoration promises to maintain
the community, as long as Hay Creek draws festival
goers, the proceeds will go toward this cause.
Not only will you see history at Hay Creek, you will
sense it. On the secluded 18th century surroundings
you’ll catch a whiff of hickory fires and coal-fired steam
engines. Take in the sweet blend of dulcimers and strol
ling folk musicians. In the early American craft and food
sections...sights, sounds and smells overwhelm. There
traditional craftspeople demonstrate rare crafts and in
terpret in period garb. At the Blacksmith shop people
watch steam rise and hot iron sizzle and in the food area
big iron kettles of soup simmer over hickory fires.
The festival continues the long standing tradition of
attracting some of the finest craftspeople in the nation to
display and demonstrate Early American crafts made
the traditional way...such as hand-blown glass, spider

pottery and wood items.
When you take your first step across the footbridge
you are certain to stay a while as you step back in time.
You’ll find the Civil War re-enactment and encampment
with boys from the 88th Pennsylvania Regiment sitting
by open fires chatting or from time to time marching to
the drum for all to see. Or you can take in the daily-an
tique car and tractor parades as they circle the festival
grounds. In the Engine and Mechanical Area hundreds
of antique engines are on display. Large traction steam
engines power the sawmill or watch the shingle mill saw
in operation, powered by antique tractors from the past.
