Observation:
- This park is actually quite
interesting. The tour demonstrates how iron nails were
"created", taking it all the way from ore to a finished nail. An
interesting fact that the ranger told us was that the Colonists would send the
newly smelted iron rods to England to make nails and then have the finished
nails sent back to the Colonies. Because of the cost of labor in the
colonies, this was actually cheaper than making the nails here. Funny how
some things never change!
