It never ceases to amaze me that there is so much history to be found in Chester County (this is walking distance into Berks County) right at nearly every turn! I took the kids towards the end of the Apple Picking at the National State Park: Hopewell Furnace a few weeks ago.
It was a rainy day, but we were able to get some apples and quickly tour the village in between the rain. Hopewell Furnace is a historical site of the ironworks in operation in 1771. I was surprised that the display kept the girls’ (ages 8 and 6) attention span (and mine!) for almost two hours with videos and “touch and feel” exhibits.
Take a look and venture out to Elverson for some history and fun! Hopewell Furnace National Historic Site; 2 Mark Bird Lane; Elverson, Pennsylvania 19520. For Visitor Information you can call (610) 582-8773.
