TOOK SOME CAMP VISITORS A COUPLE MILES down the road to the site of the remains of an iron ore mine which was built pre-American Civil War. Pictured here is the 5-story blast furnance.
Due to some bad luck, bad timing and an impurity in the iron ore-later discovered to be titanium-the mine was in operation for only 3 years,1854-57. The mine was built along the very upper reaches-1/4 mile from its source-of the Hudson River (2 pictures aboce).
