A permit is required to conduct certain activities on Hopewell Furnace National Historic Site. For most activities, a permit charge is required for processing the activity request. Additional charges may be incurred if the activity necessitates park staff to perform more than administrative action.
Activities that require a permit to be issued before their practice include (but are not exclusive):
- First Amendment activities
- Special events (which include such activities as entertainment, ceremonies, weddings, rendezvous, organized recreational events, etc.)
- Commercial filming and photography (such as that which: 1) involves the use of a model, set, or prop; 2) requires entry into a closed area; 3) requires access to the park before or after normal working hours.)
- Scientific research and related collecting
