- Located in beautiful Pine Grove Furnace State Park,
Hostelling International Ironmaster's Mansion was built in 1829 as the home of the
Ironmaster of the Pine Grove Furnace Ironworks. The ironworks manufactured cannonballs
during the Revolutionary War, and the hostel was a stop on the Underground Railroad for
sheltering runaway slaves. It is an official National Historical
Preservation site. Underground Railroad Tours are available.
-
The hostel is located on the Appalachian Trail. Pine Grove Furnace State Park is
crisscrossed by bike trails for both mountain bikes and 10-speeds and has lakes and
streams for fishing, boating and swimming. In the winter, great cross-country skiing starts right
at the hostel's front porch. Alpine skiing is also nearby. Historic Gettysburg and its
battlefield are 23 miles away.
Kings
Gap Environmental Center is 7 miles from Youth Hostel.
Great
place for groups of all ages & retreats!
