Centre Furnace Mansion
The Centre Furnace Mansion serves as headquarters for the Centre County Historical Society. The Mansion, the ironmaster's residence for Centre Furnace, has been restored and is furnished to reflect the period of residency of ironmaster Moses Thompson and his family, 1842-1891.
In 2001, Master Gardener volunteers adopted the Centre Furnace Mansion gardens as an ongoing volunteer project and came together with volunteers from the community to form the Centre Furnace Mansion Garden Committee.
"The Centre Furnace Mansion Gardens are truly a collaborative effort between Master Gardener Volunteers, Volunteers from this community and Penn State Professors and Students. It is a shining example of “Town and Gown” working together in an ongoing project that benefits the community through education and the beautification of a public grounds reaching hundreds annually". ~ Mary Sorenson, committee chair
