The Donegal Field Hockey Booster Club

The annual spring Iron Furnace Walking Tour sponsored by Rivertownes PA USA will be held on Sunday, April 7, at 1 p.m. The tour, in its 17th year, will start at the Musselman/Vesta Iron Furnace Center, 26 Furnace Road, Marietta, in the Lancaster County Chickies Day Use Park. The tour will begin with an overview of the role that the Susquehanna River played in the Industrial Revolution during the mid1800s to early 1900s. The walk will include tours at the Henry Clay Furnace and the Musselman/ Vesta Iron Furnace Center. The Musselman/Vesta was nominated and received the Community Initiative Award from the Pennsylvania Historic Preservation Awards, which honor individuals and organizations that exhibited excellence in the field of historic preservation. The awards are presented by Preservation Pennsylvania, a statewide,

private nonprofit membership organization dedicated to preserving Pennsylvania’s historic places through creative partnerships, targeted educational and advocacy programs, special projects, and technical assistance. Several changes have taken place recently at the Musselman/Vesta Iron Furnace Center. The center has been given an extension of its lease to include the furnace ruins. This will allow Rivertownes to clear more of the ruins. Also, Rivertownes has installed eight self-guided panels in the area. These panels will guide visitors through the ruins when the center is not open. The Dr. June Evans Henry Clay Furnace Exhibit is a new addition at the Iron Center. The exhibit houses many of the artifacts dug up during the 1989 to 1994 summer field studies conducted by Evans and students from Millersville University. See Walking Tour pg 9
