The Iron Furnace
This is a local historical landmark called the Iron Furnace, located near Elizabethtown in the Shawnee National Forest. It was built around 1837 and continued operations until the beginning of The Civil War. It is 32 feet high and built out of large limestone blocks mined locally at Cave-In-Rock. It was put into use again in 1872, and used up until 1887. In the 1930's, it was partially destroyed to supply rock rubble for the embankments of the Hog Thief Creek Bridge built by the CCC. The current appearance is thanks to a restoration performed in 1967. Today, it is the only remaining iron furnace in Illinois.
