About the event

Lecture - Curttis Grubb - Ironmaster, Patriot, Scoundrel by Mike Weber
Lecture: Curttis Grubb - Ironmaster, Patriot, Scoundrel
by Mike Weber

Date: Tuesday evening, August 12, 2025, at 7 p.m. at Cornwall Manor and on Zoom

Curttis Grubb is a key figure in the history of Cornwall Furnace. As the eldest son of Peter Grubb, Curttis served as iron master at Cornwall Furnace from 1765 until he died in 1789, which was much longer than his father and almost as long as Robert Coleman. He also served as a Colonel in the Pennsylvania Militia during the Revolutionary War and in other leadership roles. Besides his positive contributions to society, some respected members of society considered him a scoundrel. This presentation will focus on his life, accomplishments, and known misdeeds. As we prepare for the 250th anniversary of our Nation, please join us for this informative and enticing presentation.

This talk, "Curttis Grubb - Ironmaster, Patriot, Scoundrel" is hosted by the Cornwall Iron Furnace Associates and will take place on Tuesday evening, August 12th, 2025, at 7 p.m. This event will take place in-person at Freeman Hall at Cornwall Manor and virtually on Zoom.

The presenter, Michael Weber, volunteers as a guide, researcher, and lecturer at Cornwall Iron Furnace. As a 1982 geosciences graduate from Penn State, Mike worked for 36 years as a geologist, health physicist, and manager for the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission and the U.S. Geological Survey. After retiring from Federal service, he returned to Cornwall Furnace, where he serves as a guide and researches the history of mining and the geology at Cornwall and similar deposits in PA. He is the author of “Always More Production,” a history of the mining operations at Cornwall. He is currently researching Curttis Grubb as part of a new Cornwall Furnace history book project.

This is an in-person and an online lecture that will utilize the Zoom platform.

Registration is required for online attendance. To register for the virtual lecture please go to:
