This furnace is one of more than a dozen such smelters that operated in this area in the mid 19th century. The ruins of six of the furnaces still exist, and two more ruins are submerged deep below the surface of Lake Allatoona. The most accessible and well preserved is Cooper Furnace in the park below the Allatoona Lake dam.
