West Point Foundry Site, Cold Spring, NY

My daughter works in Cold Spring, NY.  Today while Gordon and Scott have been pulling my chain on this forum, she is bumming around the foundry site where Robert Parrott made cannons, shells, fuses, etc.  She said there is a museum there with regular hours and a bunch of trails that go through ruins and landmarks.  I gotta get out there to visit her!

What is all that floating in the river?  Looks like Styrofoam.   

Nice image of Storm King.  A bunch of iron has been hauled or rolled off that hillside over the decades.

Thanks for the memories.  Been there, done that, have the archeology reports.
