Open Museum Days

The Collier's Log House, usually open every Sunday from 2 - 4 p.m., will be closed until further notice due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Historically, Catoctin Furnace is no stranger to epidemics with residents experiencing cholera, yellow fever, diphtheria, and other contagions in the past. The Maryland State Board of Health report for the year 10/31/1905 - 10/31/1906 contains the following report: "We had one ugly outbreak of diphtheria near Catoctin Furnace…one death resulted…refused to allow the attending physician to use antitoxin. By strict quarantine, fumigation and disinfecting premises it was confined."
We will reopen for visits as soon as possible. Thank you for your understanding and stay safe.
