Tahawus Blast Furnace Ruins
This massive blast furnace was built in 1854, as part of a speculative effort to mine iron up in Tahawus. However, due to the railroad never making it up this far, and due to wilderness conditions, it was abandoned within 3 years of it's construction and barely ever used.

When the Open Space Insitute bought these lands in 1994, these buildings where still standing, but where collapsing. Now they have largely all collapsed in on themselves. I don't know if they could have been saved, but it's kind of sad to see history just devolving back to woods.
