Welcome to Hopewell Furnace Walking Tour
In progress since Oct 1, through Nov 30 · Free
About the program
A park ranger leads this introductory walking tour of Hopewell Furnace National Historic Site. The group walks through the historic buildings and the surrounding landscape while the ranger explains how the place worked as an iron-making community, who lived and worked here, and how sites like this one shaped the country.
Tours meet outside the Visitor Center and last about 45 minutes. The route climbs and descends in places and crosses uneven ground, so wear shoes you can walk in and dress for the weather. Restrooms and water fountains are at the Visitor Center. The tour may be cancelled or changed if the weather turns bad.
Morning and afternoon tours run on set days through the warmer months, with a shorter weekend schedule in the fall. See the schedule panel for current days and times. No registration is mentioned; just arrive at the meeting point. For questions, call the Visitor Center at 610-582-8773.
