Hills of Iron March 19, 2011

Hear the roar of two iron furnaces once again in the Etowah Valley. The iron business in Bartow County was one of Georgia's first industries long before the Civil War. Take guided tours of the historic Iron Hill section and watch molten iron pour from an operating blast furnace at 2800 degrees Fahrenheit. Scratch block molds will be available for purchase so you can make your own keepsak
