We have Therapy Dogs and we work with some children from our local schools and they are planning a picnic tomorrow there and we wanted to be sure the dogs were permitted.

It depends on the age of the party - young children, teens?? and what the level of interest is for history. At times there are also special exhibits which could add time to your visit. You should check with the National Park Service for any special exhibits. If you watch the movie and walk through all the buildings, I would say 1 - 2 hours depending on level of interest.
Greetings, My ancestors worked at the Hopewell Furnace during the 1800's (and at Warwick Furnace in the 1700's). Decades ago, I saw one of my relative's names in the pay records on display at Hopewell. Could you tell me, is there digital access to Hopewell Furnace's (and other forge) archives? I'm in DAR (Daughters of the American Revolution) and am researching furnaces and forges of the era for an historic presentation. Thank you for any leads. Christine Williams
