Preservation is the primary reason for Hopewell’s existence today, through much research and site visits, there was the discovery of many ruins at the site. Most importantly, the schoolhouse holds many ideas that shaped this area. The PATH raises up and passes through the school ruins, it creates a node that allows the presentation of the space to the visitor and its importance of settlement on the site.

The PATH meanders throughout the park directing the visitors through the three major areas of the Park, Industry, Settlement and Preservation. At this vantage point the user is making their way through settlement. The path connects to a kiosk/stopping point to give the visitors a place to sit, but also a place for Rangers to stop and discuss the meaning of the settlement in this area. The path crosses through the Horse Path in this area as it passes along the Prairie. The area allows for grazing animals on site to walk about and not be caged up in a coral. It allows visitors to see how crucial these flat lands were to the region, for animals as well as farming.

Path Through Woods

Path Through Village The Master Plan reflects the integration of the PATH through the whole of the site. Its main focus is to discuss how a visitor would move through the park as directed by the National Heritage Network. The PATH, first, introducing industry as a primary subject to Hopewell, then to Settlement and Preservation as secondary subjects. It weaves in and out of the woods bringing visitors up close to many buildings and areas of the park. The Path raises and lowers through the steep terrain but allows all individuals to walk about it. Most importantly the PATH creates a direction to visitors of the park connecting nodes and kiosks. Six nodes are created through their importance to Hopewell. These nodes are at crucial spots that present information to the visitor. At these points, one connects to the digital application or through the kiosk on the grounds. The PATH and Horse path collide at the node as an intersection of streets. It marks the spot to take off from and explore both from the path and from the horse. The new master plan is designed to exhibit the park to a visitor through the means of the importance of the park, Industry, Settlement, and Preservation without the means of digital network. It exemplifies that the linkages of these spaces were crucial to life and existence of the Forge throughout the years it operated.

The Hopewell furnace historical site is located in Southeastern Pennsylvania. The surrounding states are New York, New Jersey, and Delaware. The Hopewell furnace is surrounded by a natural landscape that consists of a State Games Land to the southeast, and French Creek State Park surrounding the remainder of the site. The 848 acre site is home to a number of hiking and biking trails, and has two lakes on the reserved site preserving sanctuality of the site.

During the most productive period of operations at Hopewell Furnace, Bethesda Church served as a meeting place for religious services of many of its residents. The church nestles in the southeast corner of Hopewell Furnace National Historic Site, a little more than a mile east of the furnace. Its founder, Thomas Lloyd III, was born in 1742, the oldest of three children of Thomas Lloyd II and Elizabeth Rees. The religion of the elder Lloyd is not known, but we do know that his wife, Elizabeth, was a Welsh Quaker.

Without the mines and the miners to supply good quality iron ore, Hopewell Furnace would not have survived. Some of Hopewell’s mines contained ore that was 40% to 50% iron, though the grade of iron ore often decreased as mining progressed over the years. The raw materials needed--iron ore, limestone, and hardwood forests for charcoal--were all available in the Hopewell area in Pennsylvania. Miners dug the ore from nearby openpit mines and washed it in the stream. Limestone was cut from local quarries. Teamsters carried the ore away to the furnace itself. An immense amount of charcoal was required to keep a furnace the size of �� as ��. By the 1770s, when Hopewell Furnace began making iron, charcoal was the only fuel available. Charcoal making was an ��100 part-time woodcutters spent the winter cutting and splitting the hardwood needed to fuel the furnace. The wood was hauled to the coaling areas and made into charcoal during the spring, summer, and fall by skilled colliers. Making charcoal required constant attention to the charcoal pits, or hearths, which averaged in size from 30-40 feet in diameter. From May through October, a collier would live in a makeshift hut with one or two helpers who would tend up to 8 or 9 pits at one time.

Although the operation of the furnace was largely men’s work, the women of Hopewell Furnace performed many tasks essential to the community. These tasks included providing food and clothing. Women served as seasonal workers �� Some Hopewell women earned money by using their homemaking skills to prepare and sell a variety of food goods such as butter, pickles, and bread.

Much like the article in relation to the kresge Foundation, this focuses on the implimentation of sustainable methods utilized in the design. The new Eielson Visitor Center, located at Mile 66 of the Park Road, replaces a Mission 66 facility that opened in 1959. With growing visitation, the older center gradually became obsolete. Denali’s harsh winters took a toll on the structure. Replacement was warranted and the rebuilding began after the summer season of 2004. Throughout the process of replacing this remote wilderness visitor center, there was a conscious effort to make choices that demonstrated the National Park Service’s commitment to sustainability.

This application can be used to show what the site looked like historically with activity before it fell to ruins.

Since the beginning the primary means of knowledge of the parks has steamed from parents, friends, family �� well known to Americans. In the early 1900’s Theodore Roosevelt made his �� National Parks. This trip inspired many Americans to see the beauty America had to offer. Meeting with park rangers and airing speeches throughout many parks grasped the attention of the people. Similar to the Posters displaying �See America” Visit the National Parks in the 1930’s. These poster along with billboards stood as primary means to gain tourist visitors. In the 1940’s Ansel Adams was contracted to photograph and display each and every National �� drama the national parks hold. The photos, placed in books and across Amer�� only could be seen in person before. From this point documentaries, movies, picture as well as word of mouth all provided means to advertise and demonstrate what the Parks had to offer. Through the invention of the web National Parks can be found on line through nps. gov. The web interface is user friendly offering great detail information on each and every park.

Social media includes web-based and mobile technologies used to turn communication into interactive dialogue. Its media for social interaction as a superset beyond social communication. Enabled by ubiquitously accessible and scalable communication techniques, social media has substantially changed the way organizations, communities, and individuals communicate. People are now linked to people they havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seen in several years. Reading and keeping up with these people life is as simple as a click of a button.

Connecting social media to Hopewell can be as simple as a Facebook page or e-mail lists. However, innovating or creating a different interaction for social media users will draw these people away from the computer and on to the site. Advertising users between 13-34 impact 72% of social media users. It is not so much to advertise for Hopewell on these site but rather it is interacting from users to park that will prove most useful from these sites.

As popularity and users rise National Parks including Hopewell Furnace will have to connect to a number of sites. Blogging, videos and pictures can all demonstrate that there is a reality to all of these beyond the web. Interactive devices such as Iphones, Ipods, Droids and Smart phones constantly keep our generation connected to the places we visit. Barcodes places on maps or plaques can be scanned to view historical data and pictures on devices. For Hopewell Furnace the site must react and implement these ideas to not only attract but allow users to interact with the attractions the furnaces already offers.

Hopewell Furnace National Historic Site is located in Berks and Chester counties in �� 360 ha in size and is roughly 78% forested, 14% managed grasslands and cropland, and �� England.

Seasonal movements of elk are often in response to biological changes and changes in food availability.

SHRUBLAND

The wetland areas are dominated by shrubs, typically Southern arrow-wood, winterberry, smooth alder, maleberry, and highbush blueberry. Scattered trees of canopy and sub-canopy height can also be found throughout the swamp. Red maple, American elm, green ash, black gum, and pin oak are the most tree common species. The ground-story �� halberd-leaf tearthumb, climbing false buckwheat, and eastern marsh fern. Several grass and sedge species are also present.

As recently as 1986, only one osprey nest could be found in Pennsylvania. Today, the government is aware of nesting pairs in more than 20 counties. For many years following a very successful reintroduction program Pennsylvania conducted annual surveys of nest sites.

Black Bear numbers have increased substantially in Pennsylvania, from around 4,000 in the 1970’s to around 14,000 today. A dramatic growth has provided more opportunities for people to see bears, which is an �� bear hunting has greatly improved.
