On Day 3 of the artist research residency at the Carrie Furnaces, retired steelworkers Bob Miletic and Jim Kapusta discussed their time at the furnaces. Thank you Bob and Jim! Your first-hand experiences provided all of us with valuable insights into the history of the Carrie Furnaces National Historic Landmark.

The artists spent the remainder of the afternoon on individualized research.
