Ironmaster Mark Bird moved from Philadelphia to a remote part of central Pennsylvania, correctly believing that easier and closer access to the coal mines in that region would give him a leg up on his competition. From there, his enterprise grew tenfold to achieve what would be called an “iron plantation.” The sprawling compound had a couple of dozen buildings, mills, barns, furnaces, and forges. However, when Pennsylvania switched from using coal to anthracite, the move adversely impacted forges like Hopewell, and the enterprise slowly dwindled in size until it shut doors in 1883.

Getting Outdoors
The mountains of Hopewell Big Woods encircles Hopewell Furnace National Historic Site in a loving embrace. In the area, Hopewell Big Woods is the largest contiguous forest, covering over 77,000 acres. Though a large majority of the woods was logged in the early 1800s, replanting efforts in the subsequent decades have largely restored the woods. As a result, various flora and fauna have returned to these mountains with a vengeance, and today they’re as robust as they were before man first entered the woods.

Franz rv was well equipped with a lot if not even more than needed in the kitchen. Very spacious with the living room slide out. They were flexible with my pickup and drop off times. I will be renting from them again.

I had a fantastic experience renting from RatedRV! Tim was awesome to work with—super communicative, responsive, and always available for any questions. He gave me a very thorough walk-through before and after the rental, which made everything smooth and stress-free. The RV itself was perfect for our group of four, and I can officially say it converted some tent campers into RV fans! I’d 100% rent from Tim again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a great RV experience.
