This Valentine’s Day, fall in love at Historic Joanna Furnace
Celebrate the 13th Annual Joanna Furnace Valentine’s Day Breakfast Buffet at Historic Joanna Furnace Iron Works from 7 a.m. to noon on Feb. 15.
“One hundred fifty years ago Joanna Furnace Ironmaster L. Heber Smith and wife Ella Jane were so very much in love. In fact, in March of 1870 the newlywed couple were expecting the birth of their first child”, states Juliana Flora, Hay Creek Valley Historical Association President and Smith Family descendent. “The excitement at that time still continues today through the passion of Hay Creek volunteers with their love to preserve the history of our community. Volunteers work at keeping the Joanna Furnace property beautiful and maintained, lead school group tours, and educate the public about our local history at our Fall events.”
