At 3 pm, Andre Weltman will lead a guided tour of the historic Ironmasters Mansion, now a hiker hoster managed by the Central Pennsylvania Conservancy and other partners.

Andre Weltman, local historian and chairman of the Friends of Pine Grove Furnace, will speak about iron company waterwheels & water races. Many of the old water supply channels are still visible in or near Pine Grove Furnace State Park, but are not recognized by visitors. Operation of the iron company’s water-powered grist mill -- today, the home of the A.T. Museum -- will be featured.
