The Long Pond Ironworks museum is operated and staffed by volunteers; it opened for its first season on Saturday, April 10, 1999. Inside the renovated Old Country Store are interpretive displays, artifacts and relics from the furnace area and ironworkers village. Photographs and artifacts help illustrate how the area looked and what life was like in this industrial complex. There are also a limited number of items available for purchase.

FOLPI is seeking additional volunteers so the hours the museum is open can be expanded. We also give monthly and special tours of the Historic District as well as educational-outreach programs for schools, Scouts, clubs and other organizations. Contact us for program information.

To become involved at the Museum, leave a message on the FOLPI Information Line (973) 657-1688 or e-mail us.
