Rivers of Steel: Carrie Blast Furnaces National Historic Landmark represents a significant piece of American industrial history. Located in Rankin, Pennsylvania, the site comprises the remains of the Carrie Furnaces, two massive blast furnaces that operated from 1883 to 1979 as part of the Carnegie Steel Company’s operations. These furnaces were crucial in producing pig iron, a key component in steelmaking, and played a vital role in Pittsburgh’s emergence as a global steel center.

Designated a National Historic Landmark in 2008, the site is now preserved by Rivers of Steel, a non-profit organization dedicated to industrial heritage conservation and economic revitalization. The landmark offers educational programs and tours focusing on the history of steel production and its impact on society. The raw, imposing structures provide a unique backdrop for events, highlighting the area's industrial past.
