Burd Coleman History Walk
April 19th @ 10:00 am - 2:00 pm
“Did you know . . . today’s Burd Coleman Road was once part of the North Lebanon and Mt. Hope Plank and Turnpike Road? It was used to transport the valuable ore from Cornwall to the Mt. Hope Furnace. To learn more about this road and other interesting local facts, join us on a delightful and educational stroll through the beautiful community of Burd Coleman. Local historians, L. Susan Wentzel and\ Michael Trump, have agreed to repeat the guided tour they featured at the Furnace’s December Christmas event.
Please consider joining us as we walk among the quaint stone structures and learn about the history of the village, its relationship to the Cornwall mines, the architecture, and some of the unique homes and businesses. Tours will be conducted between 10:00 am and 2:00 pm on Saturday, April 19th. Please be aware that the walking tours are about an hour in length and will require walking less than one mile over uneven sidewalks and slight inclines. Guests should wear appropriate footwear and dress for the weather.
Tours depart on the hour and cost $5 per person (ages 2 and under are free). Your tour guide will take payment in cash on the day of the tour. All proceeds benefit the Friends of Cornwall Iron Furnace.
**Because spots are limited, we ask that you preregister by
calling the furnace at 717-272-9711.
