Buckeye Furnace Covered Bridge



The bustling village of Buckeye Furnace was located here. The focal point, and the reason it existed in the first place, was the iron furnace. The Buckeye Furnace was built in 1851 by Thomas Price. The village contained numerous houses, which were built for the workers and the iron master. There was also a schoolhouse, company store, company office, and probably a church and a cemetery as well.
