The Iron Works at Andover
Route 206
Andover, NJ 07821
Picture of the Iron Master's house.
Purchased from a large tract of land belonging to William Penn, William Allen and Joseph Turner started their ironworks here in the 1760's. Slaves and indentured servants were employed to extract and process iron ore to produce fine grade iron. The iron mined here was esteemed as being excellent for production into steel. The mines, forges, and furnaces at Andover were confiscated by an Act of Continental Congresson January 15, 1778 as its owners were loyal to the British Crown. George Washington's encampment at Morristown, NJ was in part to protect these works from falling into British control. The Iron Master's house, occupied by John Hackett, Allen and Turner's manager, sits above the ravine in which the iron works was located.
