Hopewell Village

Hopewell Village of the National Park Service is representative of every pre-1840 iron community of the United States. These furnaces were necessarily “in the woods” because of the need for 5,000 cords of wood annually, required as charcoal fuel. A visit to the Village and the Park’s museum enables visitors to better understand early industrial history. Open daily (except Christmas) 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. except 9:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. on Saturdays, Sundays and Holidays from May 30 to Labor Day, inclusive.
