Penfield Homestead Museum Penfield Homestead Museum was founded in 1962 with a mission to preserve the Penfield Homestead and

Penfield Homestead Museum is located in historic Ironville in the Town of Crown Point, NY. Penfield Museum is a not-for-profit organization that is dedicated to preserving the history of the Ironworking Industry in the North Country during the 19th century. This hamlet is listed as the "Birthplace of the Electric Age", being the site of the first industrial application of electricity in the United States. Iron ore was mined just up the road in the hamlet of Hammondville, separated in Ironville, and then shipped by railroad to Lake Champlain where it was used in many applications including the Civil War Ironclad Monitor.

*We also hold a venue for weddings, class reunions, ect. Located on our property is a beautiful church and a pavilion to host your wedding reception.
