Ghost Ore industry's
Abandoned Furnace
Deceives Picnickers
Out for a hike toward the Duck
Pond and Bellefonte, students
might be confused at seeing a large
stone furnace, apparently put up
for the convenience of picnickers.
However, a bronze. plaque is vis=
ible upon investigating the struc
tare. • •
Inscribed on the landmark's tab
let is the inscription, "This stack
is part of the plant of the Centre
Iron Co., which was erected in
1792 by Col. John Patton and Col.
Samuel Miles, officers in' the War
of the American Revolution. The
product of this furnace was the
first iron smelted in Centre Coun
ty and was carried on muldback to
Pittsburgh. The furnace was op
erated from 1792 to 1809 and from
1826 * to 1868." .
The furnace is of especial in
terest at this time, for Saturday
the Centre County Historical So
ciety is sponsoring a program com
memorating the 150th anniversary
of its founding. Philip S. Klein,
assistant professor •of American
History at the College, is campus
chairman.
One of the few remaining land
marks of a once prosperous Cen
tre County industry, the squat pile
of weathered limestone was used
as a furnace for blasting iron min
ed at nearby points. Little evi
dence is left now of the industry
which helped to settle Centre
County and died out because of
the inferiority of the ore mined.
