Saugus Iron Works National Historic Site interprets an early industrial landscape beside the Saugus River.
Reconstructed water-powered machinery, historic buildings and archaeological context explain iron production and its place in colonial New England.
Check National Park Service information for the current visitor season, tours and building access before arriving. Outdoor grounds and staffed facilities can follow different schedules. The photograph shows the reconstructed works and river setting, rather than a surviving untouched seventeenth-century factory or a guarantee of operating machinery.
