Catoctin Furnace (also known as Catoctin Iron Furnace) is a historic iron forge located on Route 15 between Frederick and Thurmont in Catoctin Furnace, MD. Signs about the smelting blast furnace are on the site, but no forge is at the site now. Forges were present when the ironworks was operational.

The painted elephant statue shown below was near the Elephant Museum, but Lee and Karen Duquette did not go to the museum because it was closed when they were in this area.
