The site includes: - waterwheel-powered Eagle Ironworks Furnace and 19th-century machines and tools; - Curtin Family Mansion, built in the 1830s, with unique architectural features; it's furnished with period antiques as well as glassware, dolls, toys, clothing, arrowheads; - personal carriage that belonged to Pa. Civil War Governor Andrew Curtin; - iron furnace workers' village. **The historical site is owned by the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission and managed by the Roland Curtin Foundation.
