Catoctin Iron Furnace

This furnace was constructed in 1858-named Isabella. It was the second of three iron furnaces here. The first nearby on Hunting Creek made bombs used at Yorktown. There is a new plaque here on a stone dated today dedicated by the Daughters of the American Revolution. A historic marker tells of the contribution of this furnace to the war effort-including the ironclad USS Monitor. I should like to see the dedication but must move on to new sites on this beautiful Sunday autumn day
