Juliana Furnace Site (Julian's namesake)

Directions

Julian began as Juliana Furnace, the charcoal iron furnace built by James Irvin and John Adams and named for Julia Ann — part of the Juniata iron district that also produced Eagle Iron Works, Harmony Forge, and Pennsylvania Furnace. Ore was hauled by teamsters from Buffalo Run Valley; 50–100 men worked the furnace and coaling grounds. VERIFY stack remains / marker location with Centre County Historical Society.
