At Long Pond Ironworks, the original iron furnace was built in 1766 by Peter Hasenclever. It stood 25 feet tall and could produce 25 tons of iron a week. During the Revolutionary War, iron from this furnace was used to make equipment for the Colonial Army. The low stone walls at the left and right were the foundations for the furnace’s casting house and wheelhouse, respectively.
