Caption: Greenwood Public Camp
Additional Description: "One of Nature's Beauty Spots" When the iron furnace closed in 1904, the Greenwood Furnace landscape reflected more than seventy years of industrial use. Yet a mere twenty years later, Greenwood Furnace was known as a place of scenic beauty. In 1924, the Department of Forestry created the "Greenwood Public Camp". The old dam was repaired and camping shelters were built. By the early 1930s, picnic pavilions, and a small beach with a dressing stockade greeted early park visitors.
