The Gunpowder Copper Works, established around 1811 by Levi Hollingsworth in Glen Arm, Maryland, is recognized as the second oldest copper works in the United States. This factory specialized in transforming copper into sheets for maritime use and gained national recognition for supplying materials for the rebuilding of the U.S. Capitol Dome after the War of 1812.

Although the facility ceased operations in 1858 due to flooding, remnants of the complex still exist today as part of Gunpowder Falls State Park, including several historical buildings associated with the original copper works. The site reflects a rich industrial heritage, with its notable contributions to early American shipbuilding and the local economy.
