See a miniature version of Mark A. Cooper's Iron Furnace in operation.  Cooper's Iron Empire at Etowah fueled the Confederacy before being destroyed by Sherman's troops in 1864.  The Hills of Iron event explores Cooper's legacy and provides a unique look at early iron production which was vital to the support of Civil War troops.

Hear the roar of two iron furnaces once again in the Etowah Valley. The iron business in Bartow County was one of Georgia’s first industries long before the Civil War. Take guided tours of the historic Iron Hill section and watch molten iron pour from an operating blast furnace at 2800 degrees Fahrenheit. Scratch block molds will be available for purchase so you can make your own keepsake. $5 parking. 770-975-0055.
