​ALL SPACES HAVE BEEN FILLED.

$240 PER CHILD

The students must be dropped off and picked up at the furnace site by a parent or guardian and must bring their own lunch and beverages.

Why excavate at Codorus?

  • Jeri Jones conducted excavations at the furnace site in 2009 and 2010 with the support of the York County Parks.  Additional information has been found since then that warrants further excavations. 
  • “The students will hopefully find pieces of the puzzle of understanding how Mary Ann Furnace operated and where various features were located."  You can’t get any more real than this.”  Jeri Jones​
