Carrie Furnaces

We took friends to see the Carrie Blast Furnaces National Historic Landmark recently. Their tours are a marvelous way to immerse yourself in both local history and the ephemeral beauty of ruins. Rivers of Steel offers a variety of neat tours, focusing many different aspects of the site. They also regularly have artist workshops to learn about unusual mediums like graffiti and metal arts, and have hosted theatre productions there as well. This is one of those Pittsburgh hidden gems no one should miss!
