? ? ? The stone foundation before you is all that remains of the original iron furnace at Long Pond Ironworks. Built in 1766 by Peter Hasenclever, it was 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 are foundations for the furnace's casting and wheelhouse, respectively.
