BUCKEYE FURNACE STATE MEMORIAL
 
Buckeye Furnace is a reconstructed charcoal-fired                  iron blast furnace with original stack, typical of those                  operating in southeastern Ohio's Hanging Rock Iron                  Region more than a century ago. 
                  Visitors to this 270-acre site can see the furnace,         originally built in 1852, which went out of blast for the last time in 1894.         Attached to the furnace is the         reconstructed casting shed. Above the         furnace is the charging loft where iron ore,         limestone, and charcoal were loaded into         the furnace, and the engine house which         contained a steam-powered compressor.         The reconstructed company store serves         as a visitor orientation area. There are two nature trails.
