Found this little known location online and figured I'd stop by one afternoon in October. My group and I were the only ones there at the time so the employees were willing to show us around. We decided to do a self-guided tour starting at the Museum which houses some historical items. Then we took a walk around the beautiful groups of the Iron Works with the recreated buildings. Go in the fall! Everything is free and no one will bother you if you want to just stroll around and take in the history this location has to offer.

Great for taken pictures or just relaxing for the day and having a picnic. Its very scenic, quite and peaceful. You coudl also ask for a tour that has some historic value.

We stopped by due to some time to kill but ended up staying longer than expected. The staff was very informative and showed us around, even firing up a water wheel for our kids. We all learned something and went away glad that we visited. If you're nearby, stop by!

It was fascinating to learn about early manufacturing in Colonial America. Especially the value of nails and the use of tides during that period. Plenty of parking and friendly Park Rangers.

really nice setting and the history was really interesting. Great if you had kids that needed a place to run off steam. Watch the youtube movie on this place before going and it will all make sense.

Wonderful historical place to visit. No charge and the staff are very friendly and knowledgable. The whole process of iron working was foreign to me but it was explained well. We literally missed the "iron pour" by a few hours but will definately look for it next year. Thank you for a fun visit.

If you have extra time you may wish to visit this palce on the way to Salem. Having National Park passports, we look for places near what we visit. This was on the way to Salem and it was an unexpected treat. It looked a little like a Hobbit village. And the kids loved working some of the tools in the different work areas. They also learned the importance of iron working to establishing an economy in colonial times.There is a museum with exhibits displaying artifacts found at the iron works.A nature trail and mills.

Avery interesting and educational site to visit. See how the Iron Works recieved iron ore from the river barges and transformed it into iron for various industries, A really good take. Good restaurants and lodging neaby We spent more than two hours there and really enjoyed it.

This was the first iron works in the New World, and it supplied the American Revolution. The grounds are amazing, and I especially loved walking through the herb garden. It's a good place for a picnic, though rambunctious kids may not find it terribly interesting, unless they love history.

This is an excellent site to learn more about the early settlers in New England, and their creativity in developing/building an Iron Works to create the tools they needed. We spent a lot of time at this site, and took in every exhibit. Very informative, and very well restored. This is an educational MUST if you are interested in the early settlers.
