Eliza Furnace 1069 Main Street, Vintondale, PA 15961

"We took a detour to have a break on our road trip home and this little area was very quiet and serene. We got there in the evening and was able to eat at a picnic table there. Was really awesome to see a small piece of history still standing."

"Great place to see a furnace which is well preserved. Easy to get to, no long trail hikes here, parking lot and back across the lawn. No wheelchair access. Informative plaques so you can understand the smelting process. So many of these dot the PA countryside and fall into piles of rubble, this one is pristine by comparison."

"A great example of Western PA history, Eliza furnace was built in 1845. It was used in the production of pig iron and is one of the best preserved examples of the Ritter style furnace. The site is easily accessed by car or nearby bike trail. I didn't see picnic tables, but there's a bathroom facility on site that was open during our early April visit. No staff was present. The tour is entirely self guided. Informational placards tell the story."

"Really cool spot along the ghost town trail in the heart of Vintondale, pa. Nice area to check out with the fam."

"Nice quiet place along the ghost town trail that shows the history of the town. Beautiful and great place to visit."
