Cedar Creek Furnace

The Cedar Creek Furnace (also known as the Alabama Iron Works) is a former blast furnace site near Russellville in Franklin County, Alabama. It was the first iron ore furnace in Alabama, preceding an industry that would come to dominate the state's economy in the late 19th and early 20th century.
==History==
The furnace was built by Joseph Heslip, who had experience running iron works in his native Pennsylvania and in Tennessee. Heslip acquired the property in Franklin County around 1818 and constructed the furnace using slave labor.〔 ''See also:'' 〕 A cholera outbreak in 1820 killed Heslip and many of the slaves who operated the furnace. The furnace and site were sold at auction in November 1825 and purchased by Tennessee ironmaker Aaron Wells. Wells operated the site for two years before selling it to Robert Napier. Napier implemented many improvements to the process, and the furnace became a commercial success producing high-quality product. The furnace operated until around 1832 to 1836, possibly due to a flood on the creek that reached the furnace and extinguished it, hardening the metal and rendering the furnace inoperable.
Before the furnace was constructed, most local blacksmiths used imported iron. The furnace's pig iron was used by locals and also transported to the Tennessee River near Pickwick Landing and shipped to New Orleans and overseas.
