Some useful links about Beckley Furnace and the Iron Industry

We’re always delighted to discover that other websites think enough of Beckley Furnace to write about us, or to provide links to our website.  So, here are some useful links about Beckley Furnace and the Iron Industry for those interested in pursuing them beyond this website.  In most cases, these sites have considerable worthwhile information if you are interested in Beckley Furnace, or the iron industry, or the beautiful Northwest Corner of Connecticut, where we’re located. We also suggest that you visit our “References” page for some other websites with useful (but more specialized) information about Beckley Furnace and the iron industry.

While we update this website frequently, there’s occasionally more up-to-date information elsewhere, and we dwould not want you to miss that.

We’re a CT State Park, so this link is really ours too:
