Cornwall Iron Furnace, in Cornwall, Pennsylvania, is a charcoal iron-making facility that operated from 1742 to 1883. The surviving stone furnace, steam-powered air-blast machinery, and related buildings were once the nucleus of a huge industrial plantation, which produced pig iron and domestic products and, during the Revolution and Civil War, cannon barrels.

Hopewell Furnace is a charcoal- fueled, cold- blast furnace that was originally constructed by Ironmaster Mark Bird in 1770- 71.
