February 11th 2012: This was our second visit and we got to see the park and its surroundings in the winter season. We sat down with the park rangers and talked about their vision for the park. This trip gave us a better idea of the premise of the project. The rangers guided us around the park showing the important landmarks and trails. We also were taken on a back of the house tour to the archives which the public rarely gets to see. The artifacts were so well preserved that it got us thinking about the narratives of Hopewell Furnace.
All in all, this trip was very eventful and gave us a more clear direction for our next step.
