I was looking through some photos the other day and found some pictures John and I took a couple of years ago of the Roaring Run Iron Furnace in Virginia. This iron furnace was built in 1834 and abandoned in 1854.

So peaceful, so serene and will soon be emblazoned

with beautiful gold, orange and red colors of autumn.

For more information, check out the following links! Great site for a home school trip!

Great information for a history report too. So pack your picnic basket and hop in the car this weekend to enjoy part of our history in a beautiful setting.
