Baldwin Furnace is located on State Park Lands and the rangers are able to complete some basic maintenance on the structure. There are some trees growing out of the stack and it would be nice if these could be removed before they continue to damage the furnace. The rear portion of the furnace has been heavily damaged and the interior is completely blocked with fallen stone. The furnace was built quickly and crudely compared to other sites, but remains standing and could be restored.
The furnace has a single tuyere and was clearly a cold blast charcoal furnace. Slag evidence around the furnace retained
charcoal remenants.
