I hope you will be checking out the mining operations of the 19th century in Clarence Fahenstock Park (in NY). I periodically hike there just to see the old mines and the railroad bed (there was a small gage r.r. back then). The area was quite populated with schools & churches and homes. Unfortunately, none of that has survived. Now & then I pick up some iron ore and take it home as a souvenier! There's a lot of history there!! (the park is part in Putnam Valley, part Kent and I'm not sure what other towns). Sunken Mine Road is in the park, it goes from one end to the other.
