Accomplishments and Committee Summaries Continued

The task force members met monthly and were able to accomplish the following: examining the furnace and scouring the woods for remains of the Mount Hope Village. Before the report was written, we were informed that the furnace looks more stable than it is and were advised to fence part of it and put up better warning signs

Developed an initial Tour Script and led 7 guided historic tours to the Mount Hope Blast Iron Furnace between May and September. Julie Yanson, who did her Girl Scout Gold Award on the Furnace under the supervision of Fran Plummer, led most of the tours and David Zdunczyk, a Graduate of the Folk/Museum Studies in Museum Studies and American Folk Culture from the State University of NY at Oneonta led or co-led the others.

Evaluations from 22 participants of the first three spring tours were unanimously positive with an overall rating of 4.8 on a 5-point scale. Updated the Furnace Trail Brochure and had copies printed to be placed at the trailhead.

Completed a grant application for and received a Preserve NY grant (see https://www.preservenys.org/ for $8,560. The project proposed was to complete a Conditions Assessment and Historic Structure Report on the Mount Hope Blast Iron Furnace. Janet Null of Argus Architecture & Preservation, PC, recommended by OSI, had completed a Conditions assessment in 2005 of the McIntryre furnace and a plan/design for stabilization work in 2006. Argus Architecture agreed to complete our grant project for $15,900. The Furnace Task Force raised the additional $7,350 needed. In late October 2022, Argus staff and a team of surveyors spent two days
