Cornwall Furnace during the Revolutionary War

Presented by Mike Weber

Come join us for an afternoon of celebration and history on Sunday, July 26, 2026, from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM in the Historical Society Auditorium as Mike Weber presents “Cornwall Furnace During the Revolutionary War.”

Discover the Cornwall Iron Furnace and ironmasters Curttis and Peter Grubb and how they have contributed significantly during the Revolutionary War.  Curttis and Peter both served as colonels in the Pennsylvania militia (2nd and 8th Battalions, respectively). Learn how they also produced cannon, shot and shell, salt pans, and stoves for use by the Continental Army and Navy. This presentation will provide an overview of the operations of Cornwall Furnace and how the Grubbs contributed to the fight for independence.

This program will be presented by Michael Weber, local historian and guide at Cornwall Furnace and held in our auditorium.
