Furnace at Vesuvius recreation area

Furnace at Vesuvius recreation area Save

Description: Original description reads: "Close-up view of Vesuvius Furnace Stack. This was one of the first iron blast furnaces in the famous Hanging Rock Iron District in southern Ohio. Built in 1833, used charcoal and air blast similar to other furnaces (this known as 'cold blast'). In 1836 the hot blast process was developed at this furnace and being more efficient, it rapidly spread to the other furnaces in this area. In the late 90's competition with the norther Michigan and Minnesota mines caused the return to the 'cold blast' method. The final blast at this furnace was in 1906. This furnace is the source of the name for the Vesuvius Recreation Area." The Vesuvius Recreation Area is located in Wayne National Forest. Lake Vesuvius is a man-made result of dam construction that began in 1937 and was completed by 1941. View on Ohio Memory.
