This 1,500-acre park was created around Civil War-era iron-making furnaces. Furnaces were a major producer of iron for the Selma Arsenal and were destroyed by Union cavalry raiders in 1865. The park includes a museum, more than forty restored log cabins and other period buildings, including a working gristmill, church and school.
