Iron deposits and land were sold after the death of Benjamin Ormand Sr. in 1829. Joe and Lida Or- mand Whitehurst purchased about 12 acres in 1971 and deeded it to the Old Furnace Foundation Inc. which is headed by Otis Whitehurst. Last year a bridge was engineered and built by de- scefidants over Long Creek on the property and featuring large beams from original pine trees.
