Let's start with a few questions to narrow down your options.


Part a historical site, part a recreational park, Greenwood Furnace State Park was once the site of a major iron mining and processing operation. Two of the original furnaces (one restored) still stand today. There’s no need to head west to visit the ghost towns when Pennsylvania has several, including one in the heart of Greenwood Furnace State Park. The small town of 300 families was abandoned practically overnight when the iron industry collapsed in the early 1900s. A few cabins and homes, a blacksmith shop, a church, and the graveyard are still intact today.
Shaded by the Seven Mountains ridge, the small park has mild summers and snowy winters. Every August, the park hosts the “Old Home Day” festival, which was started in 1921. The event honors the local mining history, and volunteer reenactors demonstrate some of the techniques used by the 19th-century residents. The closest large town is Lewistown, about 18 miles east. State College, home to the University of Pennsylvania, is 20 miles to the north.
