The ironmaster's home
The signing event of the land to Penn State drew great interest in the area, despite its isolated location — Mary Irvin Thompson, Thompson's wife, received fame for hosting a 'sumptuous' dinner at her home earlier that day for 150 guests. The new school's trustees, along with Thompson and Irvin, are believed to have signed the land agreement in the east front parlor, now called the Founders Room, located on the mansion's first floor. A copy of the contract is on display. https://www.psu.edu/news/campus-life/story/photo-story-centre-furnace-mansion-and-birth-penn-state/
