Hudson Valley Contributions to the Union War Effort
BIWM Executive Director Michael P. Barrett will discuss Troy’s Burden Iron Works and its mass production of horseshoes while PHM Board Chair Mark Forlow will address the Parrott Guns built by Cold Spring’s West Point Foundry. Burden Iron Works and the West Point Foundry were both pioneers of American industrialization. They helped make the Hudson the “Silicon Valley” of the nineteenth century.
