Your visit to Buckeye Furnace begins with a stop at the company store, stocked with antiques. As you look around, you will have the opportunity the view the film "The Early Iron Industry of Ohio" that talks about this romantic chapter of Ohio history. 

  The important part of your visit comes when you walk the grounds and inspect the furnace and structures that were typical of an iron making operation in the mid nineteenth century. Along the tour are numerous stanchions with colorful placards that explain not only the various operations, but also about the life at the furnace itself. Visit Buckeye Furnace for an experience into the industrial past of southern Ohio.
