 Friends of Beckley Furnace welcome Pittsfield HS

New signs installed and dedicated at Beckley -- 2005

Thanks to the unstinting effort of several of the Friends of Beckley Furnace, the first-time visitor no longer has to ask the all-too-familiar question "What is this place?"

Below are several photos from the installation process of our new interpretive signage and of the dedication.
