The sandstone abutment and raceway on the north side of Hemlock Road are remnants of a furnace and ironworks that supplied cannonballs to the Continental Army in 1776-1777. The site was also an active source of supplies during the War of 1812 and the Civil War. In 1854 it was the site of the Ludlum Steel Co. and also of the Pompton feeder, a branch of the Morris Canal. It was destroyed by the flood of 1903 and declared a local historic landmark in 1996.
