Hopewell Furnace National Historic Site
Management

Our mission at Hopewell Furnace National Historic Site is to provide for the public enjoyment of Hopewell Furnace through a range of learning and recreational opportunities; to preserve and protect the old Furnace, Mansion House, and other resources that define the natural and cultural landscape known as Hopewell; and interpret and share the history of Hopewell and its people. 

Explore this section to learn who is leading this effort and what is being planned for the future of the park.
