Not sure what things were like when Dan R was there, but I just took a trip over with Sam's Mom today and admission was only $6.00, and 50 cents off with AAA.  It was AWESOME.  You get to see cannons from the 18th century, learn all about how to make charcoal, and travel down into the heart of a 200-year-old furnace.  It's pretty cool.

I can't help but think of Roadside America, which also costs $6.00 but is way lamer.  Take a detour on your cross-country road trip, skip Shartlesville, and head to Lebanon instead.  Bite me Roadside America.

This is the remains of a revolutionary war forge where they made products to support the continental army. it operated from 1742- 1883 they used wood, iron ore and limestone here. now it belongs to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. There is an admission fee of 6.00 per person but you can stroll around at your own pace and take a self-guided tour of the museum.
