Enjoy a relaxing visit into 19th century village life. Located in the
heart of the Pocomoke Forest, Furnace Town is home to Maryland's
only bog ore iron furnace. The furnace is situated 5 miles north of
Snow Hill on the banks of Nassawango Creek. Furnace Town and its
Nassawango Iron Furnace (recognized by The American Society of
Mechanical Engineers as a National Historic Mechanical Engineering
Landmark) comprise an educational site of local archaeological and
historical interest. The furnace and buildings are being restored,
preserved and interpreted by Furnace Town Foundation, Inc.
