Eagle Iron Works and Curtin Village was just like this in Centre County PA. My gf @MissRailfan www.youtube.com/@MissRailfan has some videos on their site with how it is laid out. It is right down the road from us. EIW was in the Juniata Iron District of PA.

Visited today and found the site to be a hidden gem that rivals many historical sites I have seen! You can actually walk in the areas and buildings where people worked and lived, and even touch the items they made. We sat in rooms where families gathered and could feel the sense of a time long ago. Also the site is located in a beautiful area and very well kept. Thank you.

Women are not free and neither are men. Can men or women have children in a society that is not overpopulated/concieved and economically unstable?, vote for a candidate or party that practices and promotes the family lifestyle and value system?, surround themselves with messages of family(s) values or state a belief in the family(s) system without their livelihood being threatened?!

Overpopulation: They cannot control, no. Economically stable: They cannot control, no. Vote for a candidate or party that practices and promotes family/values: Yes, there are plenty on that platform and have been for quite a while. That platform predates English. Surround themselves with family values or state them without their livelihood being threatened: Of course they can. The problem is, if your definition of "family values" and your "value system" incorporates others being lesser or unworthy of privileges you enjoy, then yes, you may be at risk of losing your job. But that's mostly a corporate determination, not governed-- even if in law. And nobody demands you express these beliefs either. The rest of the world is perfectly happy to let you believe whatever and practice whatever in the privacy of your own mind, on your own property. As is outlined in our country's founding documents. For all their nonsense and cowardice, at least our earliest politicians got that part right.

Global slavery caught up with the enslaved slavemasters in the United States, but did their descendants reverse course? No, they just keep stealing other other people's land and people.

@@the_eternal_student Best find a new country's history to be ineterested in, then. Because the job of historians, archivists, and preservers in general is to research, record, analyze, interpret, extrapolate upon, and communicate knowledge of the past. Both of those topics are extraordinarily relevant to American history, though I'd rank the crime of slavery and the plight of enslaved peoples in general as being slightly more important than interracial marriage specifically. Not all things are relevant, but I don't see how queer life factors into this particular presentation, nor interracial marriage. These just seems like the outlet you've chosen to release steam.

Here in Ohio we called them Raggies. They were itinerants that traveled around NE Ohio and used the method shown here. We used smaller stacks of wood but there was still a shrinkage of 40-50%. We used water to cool things down enough so that a fire wouldn't start while raking out.

There, that wasn't so hard now was it.... I may not necessarily be smart yet it took me less then a minute to figure it out.... and youve been waiting for 3weeks...... *3WEEKS* ...... Hows about you try and do some work yourself next time, can't be spoon fed your whole life. And no i dont live alone, what does that have to do with sarcasm? Seriously?

In England, the men would sit up all night on watch to make sure things smoldered and did not begin to flare up. To stop them falling asleep, they'd use two-legged stools (rather like a milking stool, but minus a leg). If they fell asleep, they'd fall off the stool and wake up. Hence the term, 'nodding off'.

Nice video, but the metal being handled in this video appears to be aluminum. I suppose it works to demonstrate how the foundry would have run without the expense of actually running the furnace all the way up to iron temperatures.

I noticed that too. I imagine that the safety issues would outweigh the need to run the furnace for a demonstration video.

I’ve seen this demonstration several times in person at Hopewell village In the 70s and they used aluminum. I wonder if they still demonstrate this occasionally.
