Charlie, there are several of those old furnaces scattered around Virgina, In the late stages of the Civil war they, the confederates needed iron for cannon barrels, some had good sources of ore and others did not, resulting in more than one cannon barrel bursting while in use. Tredegar iron works was the largest producer of cannons for the south. They were right outside Richmond, hope I spelled the name right. well so much for the history lesson.
