Want to learn more about the Adams family? Looking for that perfect gift for a John Adams fan? The park's bookstore is the right place to come!

Eastern National, the park's cooperating association, operates the bookstore at the Visitor Center located at 1250 Hancock Street and a small satellite store at the Carriage House at 135 Adams Street.

You can also purchase a limited selection of items directly from the Eastern National website.

A portion of Eastern National's proceeds are returned to the park.

The air blast is directed through the Tuyere as it enters the furnace.  

Did You Know?
The term "Cold Blast" refers to air being drawn directly from the outside atmosphere and entered into a furnace by its bellows machinery. A "Hot Blast" system pre-heated the air before entry, a more efficient means of increasing temperature in a furnace. Hopewell Furnace was a cold blast furnace.
