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.
