Located on a 500-acre farm, the Penfield Homestead Museum exhibits objects from daily life in the mid-1800s. A pond-side walking tour will carry you by the ruins of a nineteenth-century iron town and the Congregational Church where its workers and their families worshipped.
We are a regional historical records repository, housing genealogical files, maps, church records, and business records of the Crown Point Iron Company. We are located in the hamlet of Ironville, the "Birthplace of the Electrical Age," where the electromagnet was used in the first-ever industrial application of electricity.
