Geocache Description:

Come and enjoy the relaxed and peaceful outdoors at the furnace. There are areas to use for company picnics, family outings, church outings etc. It was built in 1848 and was the first hot-blast furnace built in the State of Tennessee, and was for many years one of the largest furnaces in the State. The furnace was used for melting iron ore, the most valuable mineral in Decatur and adjoining counties of Hardin, Wayne, and Henderson.
