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.
I used to live in Philadelphia and visited the site many times. Under-appreciated treasure of the various historical sites in the NPS system. Great video.
Visited today on a cold wintery Jan. day. Beautiful in the winter just to stroll the grounds and listen to the park rangers speak of the history of Hopewell Furnace National Historic Site.
Incredible video! Visited last weekend, but didn't have time to do theater in the visitor center. Currently the highest resolution on UA-cam is 480p. Would love a 1080 or 4k version if possible!
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.
There is no such thing as being liberated from work; work is something you do for your immediate family and people while trying to remain on your land - work is freedom!
Need to open up more trails to Bikes. The Bike discrimination at this park is unreal. Free the trails, free the bikes. Stop bicycle discrimination NOW!!!!
I am sick of the people responsible for preserving the good parts of the past trying to connect it with the struggle for inter-racial marriage and homosexuality.
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.
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.

My father had us hike to here from a cabin near I'm French creek! What a memory
underrated. More need to know about this. I went Women's History event today. It was raining, and i basically had the whole place to myself.

This is a great and very informative video. Planning to visit the site tomorrow.
Great video, wonderful place.
Excellent!

Unless you do not own the land. Then you are a modern day slave to the system.
just now realizing i had relatives there

Everyone was a slave, because they were separated from their homeland and their people.

Can a woman stop a man from taking her separate and equal place as a doctor?
