Carrie Clark: The Namesake of Carrie Furnace
July 22 @ 6:00 pm - 7:00 pm

Learn about Carrie Clark Arkell, the woman for whom the Carrie Blast Furnaces, built for the US Steel Homstead Works, were named. The furances stand today as a monument to Pittsburgh’s steel industry, but Carrie disappeared from the record for decades. Learn how she was rediscovered and who she was in this presentation by Dr. Kirstin L. Paine from Rivers of Steel.
