Come see a demonstration of a miniature iron furnace, harking back to the days of iron production in the Allatoona Community. Purchase a mold at the park and then watch as the Red Top Furnace Crew fires up our blast furnace and pours molten iron into your design. When cooled, you can take your unique piece of iron art home. $7 for a scratch block mold.
