Archaeological Surveying Blast furnaces Iron-works Vermont Iron and iron industry Slag Charcoal and charcoal industry Industrial archaeology 19th century 18th century United States

Ironmaking commenced in Vermont during the period of the Revolutionary War and ended about a century later. During that period, dozens of blastfurnaces, bloomery forges, and foundries made or worked iron in all of the state's 14 counties. As part of a statewide survey of industrial archeology sites pertaining to Vermont's iron, charcoal, and lime industries, 36 potential blast furnace sites were identified. This article describes the 12 sites where substantial surface remains were found.
