Blast Furnace

Image captured at Tannehill SP in Alabama.

 

This is a restoration of one of the three blast furnaces built on Roupes Creek near a rich deposit of brown ore in the early 1860s. Iron from this furnace, and two others at this site, was used in the manufacturing of canons for the Confederacy. At the end of the Civil War, sites used to manufacture armament were destroyed by Federal forces.
