A ca. 1887 photo of the Gore Furnace at Gore, Ohio in Hocking Co. This coal-fired furnace, built in 1876, was one of the largest of the Hocking Valley iron furnaces.
William Thomas: Part of Hanging Rock iron ore area?
Mark Howell: William Thomas , no that would be closer to the Ohio River in Lawrence and southern Jackson Co. This was one of five iron furnaces in Perry Co. including Bessie Furnace, Gore, Moxahala, Baird's, and Orbistan.
