Management

Our mission at Hopewell Furnace National Historic Site is to provide for the public enjoyment of Hopewell Furnace through a range of learning and recreational opportunities; to preserve and protect the old Furnace, Mansion House, and other resources that define the natural and cultural landscape known as Hopewell; and interpret and share the history of Hopewell and its people. 

Explore this section to learn who is leading this effort and what is being planned for the future of the park.

Tenant Houses built to be dwellings for furnace workers.  

Did You Know?
The owners of Hopewell Furnace built tenant houses for workers and their families coming from outside the immediate area. These dwellings were rented at the low rate of 1 to 2 dollars a month, as a perk or benefit to entice the best iron workers to come to Hopewell.
