John McPherson Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 Disclaimer: never been there. I do know that there is a book on historic ironwork in Philly, but that would be about 60+ miles away. There is a sizable collection of buildings listed in the downtown Historic District. Some google suggestions: http://www.historiclancasterwalkingtour.com/ http://www.oldindustry.org/PA_HTML/PaIron.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Turley Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 I'm pretty sure that Landis Valley Museum has Conestoga wagon material. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerry p. Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 I live in Lancaster Co. and Frank is right about Landis Valley Museum, they also have a forge.

Randy Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 I live about 30 minutes north for Lancaster, in Reading, PA. If you can make it up here go see the Gruber Wagon Works. Amazing shop and equipment, if you're into that sort of thing. Landis Valley is good, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
