Caption: Greenwood Furnace State Park
Additional Description: Recreation, History, and Education-Following World War II, Greenwood Furnace remained a popular recreation area and in 1968, became Greenwood Furnace State Park. A new modern campground was built and other facilities were upgraded. Since the late 1970s, archaeological investigations have revealed much of the history buried in the ground. Educational programming began to focus on the heritage of the furnace. In 2003, a new Visitor Center, Park Office, Beach building, and restrooms were added to the park. In 1989, Greenwood Furnace was listed on the National Register of Historic Places as a National Historic District. In 1995, ASM International---The Materials Information Society (formerly the American Society for Metals), recognized this site as a National Landmark, the 95th site in the world to be so honored recognizing the superior grade of Greenwood Iron that helped with the westward expansion of America.
