Beckley Furnace, Connecticut's only designated Industrial Monument, is the centerpiece of the Upper Housatonic Valley's Iron Heritage Trail. Starting in the fall of 2013, two Girl Scouts named Eleanore and Helen visited Beckley and decided that while it was definitely interesting, it could be a lot more appealing to younger visitors, and, to earn their Girl Scout Silver Awards, they set forth on a path that included replacing the somewhat antique website with a new one written in WordPress, and creating material about Beckley Furnace and the iron industry for it. This "Welcome" video, completed in August 2014, is a significant component of the new website. We hope you enjoy it!
