| - Wendell August Forge is America's oldest and largest such forge still in existence in the United States. The original facility was a historic landmark in Mercer County, Pennsylvania. The company operates retail stores in Grove City, and Berlin, Ohio and Wilmington, North Carolina; the forge and the stores are well-known tourist destinations. Wendell August was the first to use the repoussé process of manufacture, and has operated near Grove City since 1932. It produces a variety of merchandise, including Americana, such as bowls, figurines and ornaments, as well as commemorative items. First founded by coal miner Wendell McMinn August in 1923 in Brockway, Pennsylvania, it moved to Grove City almost a decade later. When that facility was built in 1932, the forge was a simple one-story rectangular building measuring approximately 60 feet (18 m) by 160 feet (49 m); its frame was steel, constructed on a foundation of poured concrete. That property was located in a primarily residential neighborhood. (en)
