Buckeye Furnace in Milton Township, Jackson County, Ohio. Buckeye Furnace was built in 1851 and ceased operation in 1894. It is one of more than 40 iron furnaces that operated in southeastern Ohio from about 1836 to 1916. During this time extensive oak-hickory forests were clear-cut to provide charcoal for the furnaces, where ore from nearby mines was smelted. For more than a half century some of the best iron in the world flowed from these furnaces. The discovery of richer, more abundant ores in Michigan and Minnesota brought Ohio�s iron industry to an end. Buckeye Furnace was restored in the early 1970s and is part of the Ohio Historical Society's museum site system in Ohio. The image was taken during a teachers...

The Vesuvius Furnace is at the southeast end of Lake Vesuvius in the Lake Vesuvius Recreation Area of the Wayne National Forest, Lawrence County, Ohio. The furnace was named after the Mount Vesuvius volcano in Italy. The furnace was built in 1833 to supply iron to steel manufacturers in northern Ohio, Pennsylvania, and other parts of the nation. It produced 3,000 tons of pig iron, made from iron ore and limestone, per year. The supply of iron ore diminished by the end of the nineteenth century and the furnace was abandoned in 1906. The furnace was one 46 charcoal iron furnaces located in the Hanging Rock Iron Region of southern Ohio.
