Warwick Furnace Farms is a historic district in northern Chester County, Pennsylvania that includes the ruins of an early iron furnace, the ironmaster's house and workers' houses, as well as a historic farm house and barns now used in the operation of a working farm. The furnace was a center of colonial iron making and is associated with the introduction of the Franklin Stove, and the retreat of George Washington's army following its defeat at the Battle of Brandywine. The furnace operated through the 1860s and supplied the iron used in the iron-clad ship the USS Monitor during the Civil War.〔M. Bennett, M. Busenkell, F.L. Edmunds, E. Morris, K. Murphy, and V. Stoudt, 1976, (NRHP Nomination Form for Warwick Furnace Farm )〕 The 786 acre historic district was listed by the National Register of Historic Places in 1976. A historical marker on the site reads: Several other sites listed by the National Register of Historic Places are within a couple of miles of the site, including Hockley Mill Farm, to the east on Warwick Furnace Road, Warrenpoint to the north, Warwick Mills to the west, and Brower's Bridge upstream (west) on the South Branch of French Creek.
