Warwick Furnace Farms is a historic district in northern Chester County, Pennsylvania that includes the ruins of an early iron furnace owned by Anna Rutter Nutt, widow of Samuel Nutt. The ironmaster's house and workers' houses, as well as a historic farm house and barns now used in the operation of a working farm. Anna Rutter Nutt was the daughter of Thomas Rutter, who erected the first iron work in Pennsylvania. The furnace was managed by a George Taylor when the first Franklin Stoves were cast here. The furnace operated through the 1860s and supplied the iron used in the iron-clad ship the USS Monitor during the Civil War. The 786 acre historic district was listed by the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.

  • Warwick Furnace Farms is a historic district in northern Chester County, Pennsylvania that includes the ruins of an early iron furnace owned by Anna Rutter Nutt, widow of Samuel Nutt. The ironmaster's house and workers' houses, as well as a historic farm house and barns now used in the operation of a working farm. Anna Rutter Nutt was the daughter of Thomas Rutter, who erected the first iron work in Pennsylvania. The furnace was managed by a George Taylor when the first Franklin Stoves were cast here. The furnace operated through the 1860s and supplied the iron used in the iron-clad ship the USS Monitor during the Civil War. The 786 acre historic district was listed by the National Register of Historic Places in 1976. A historical marker on the site reads: "Warwick Furnace Built 1737 by Anna Nutt & Co. Made first Franklin stoves. Supplied shot and cannon for American revolutionists." Its last iron was made in 1867. Marked 1910 Chester Co. Historical Society Several other sites listed by the National Register of Historic Places are within a couple of miles of the site, including Hockley Mill Farm, to the east on Warwick Furnace Road, Warrenpoint to the north, Reading Furnace Historic District and Warwick Mills to the west, and Brower's Bridge upstream (west) on the South Branch of French Creek. Warrenpoint was owned by Nutt's partner William Branson and both are considered early iron pioneers. In 2015, the French & Pickering Creeks Conservation Trust permanently protected the 553-acre Warwick Furnace Farm through conservation easements and the acquisition of 108 acres, which will be the future home of a public preserve. * Barns on the farm * Bridge just south of the farmhouse built 1913 over the South Branch of French Creek (en)
