Note From Webmaster
Welcome to the new Furnace Town website. I hope you find it to be easy and fun to use. The Store is still under development, but check back soon. The Store will allow visitors to purchase admission tickets, gift shop items, and allow for event register.
The Nassawango Iron Furnace was ignited in 1829. The Village of Nassawango developed in support of smelting iron. After it was abandoned in the 1850s the town crumbled until all that was left was the mighty brick furnace. Today, Furnace Town Living Heritage Museum offers a view of the village as it was then.
Restoration work of the historic site began with the Worcester County Historical Society in the 1960s. In 1982, Furnace Town Foundation, Inc. was formed to own, operate and interpret the museum and historic site. Now the museum offers programs in archaeology, history, nature, and artisan interpretations to educate the public.
