Caption: Copake Iron Works - Blast Furnace Preservation
Additional Description: New York State acquired the abandoned Copake Iron Works in 1926 as part of the creation of Taconic State Park. The site remained an industrial ruin until 2008 when the Friends of Taconic State Park was formed. The stabilization and preservation work carried out by the Friends since then has been guided by the March 2000 report entitled"The Copake Iron Works at Taconic State Park -- A report on its Historical Significance and Development Potential," written by Larry Gobrecht, New York State Historian at Peebles Island, and Tom Scofield, Taconic State Park Manager from 1985-2000.
