Buchanan Furnace

Clarion County · dedicated 1950 · PA 58 just N of PA 368, just E of Callensburg

A short distance NW of here is the well-preserved cold blast furnace, named for James Buchanan. It was built in 1844; abandoned, 1858, due to lack of timber. At the time of its operation, the iron industry was very prosperous in Clarion County.
