About W. A. Young & Sons Foundry and Machine Shop
The Machine Shop was built in 1900 by William A. Young, who used lumber from the family farm. It made parts for steamboats, coal mines, railroads, and local businesses. A foundry was added in 1908, and the shop was electrified in 1928. It received National Historic Landmark recognition in 2017 and sits in the Rices Landing Historic District on the Monongahela River. Volunteer-led guided tours run most Sunday afternoons and must be booked in advance. Each April, the Hammer-In Festival brings blacksmiths together for demonstrations, auctions, and a hot metal pour. The site has no concessions or on-site restrooms.
