was headed for success.
In excavations. they used
everything fro mgiant meehan-

even teaspoons. when necessary
to avoid damage to smaller
articles. They unearthed five

tiny brass pins to a 505-pound

pots and pans, knives, axes,
shovels. scissors. pieces of pot

in the museum whose opening
was attended by many titans of
today's steel industry. The re-

s.or S.off Correspondent,


SAUGUS, Mass. Sept. 18.-
The Nations newest museum,
which was opened and dedicated
yesterday, is a monument to
the foresight and ingenuity of
Colonial settlers who founded
the great American iron and
steel industry more than 800
years ago.
The restored Saugus IRON
works occupies a picturesque site
beside the swift waters of the
Saugus, Rivera tract once in
Q wilderness and now within 10
miles Of Metropolitan Boston.
With infinite care, the. old
ronworks has been reconstructed,
so that today modern Amer
leans can inspect and learn to
appreciate the truly remarkable
beginnings of perhaps their most
vital industry.
In touring these historic
grounds and examining the in
stallations, one cannot help mar
yelling at the initiative and cour-
age, the planning. investing and
workmanship of the settlers re-
sponsihle for an operation so
important to- the Massachusetts
Bay Colony.
Sustained Production.
Saugus-or Hammersmith, as
the community was known in
the early days-does not claim to
have. produced the first iron in
this country. Some had been
turned out in small quantities
elsewhere. before, the plant was
started here in 1916.
But extensive research proves
that the Gaugus ironworks gave
the neW world it's first successful
and sustained production of cast
iron and wrought iron.
Principal credit for the am
bilious enterprise goes to John
Winthrop. jr.. son of the founder
of Boston. who was to become
Governor of Connecticut, and
Richard Leader. a merchant of
Salehurst. England. Winthrop
promoted the general plan to
develop New Fngland's iron re-
sources and Leader actually es-

The original capital invest
ment was 1000 pounds, sterling.
but this soon was brought up TO
$4,000 pounds. or approximately
$l65,000 in today's money.
Researchers advance the idea
that this company probably was
the first large-scale capitalistic
enterprise of its sort in America.
Integrated Plant.
Winthrop and Leader decided
upon a completely integrated

produced q little more than a
ton of cast iron a day. The roll
ing and Sitting mill was one of
very few then existing in the
world.
Skilled workers were imported
from England. given good hous-
ing and paid high wages for
those times. While the investors
wanted to help the new colony,
they also wanted to make a
profit and they knew their prof.
ect depended upon competent
crews that would remain on the
job. They also employed farm
ers during off-seasons and in
dentured servants to bring in
ore. timber. charcoal and food.
The experience gained and
the skills. mastered at Saugus
were to lay the foundations Of
the great American industry
which today comprises 255 COM
panies which make or finish
steel-operating 43o plants in
81 States In 1854, more than
600. 900 workers are employed by
this 50 billion industry backed
by the investment of 800, 900
stockholders.
The business which started
here three centuries ago has
grown to the point that the
United States last year produced
almost liz million tons of in
gots and steel for castin.. In
other words. production in 1853
was 100000 times that at the
Saugus plant in 1861.
AS the years passed, timbers of
the buildings were carted away
or left to rot. A highway was
laid out over the old water wheel
that drove the big bellows of the
furnace. Other traces of the in
stallation were buried gradually
by erosion. Even the old Stag pile
was covered by weeds.
Purchase Revives Interest.
Only the well-preserved man
sion of the ironmaster remained
as a physical reminder of the
ironworks for modern genera
tions. In 1941 it was bought by
graduates of the. Ford Training
School for removal to Dearborn,
Mich, to be presented as a gift
to the late Henry Ford.
At that point. a loyal citizen
OF the old community stepped in.
She was Miss M. Louise Hawkes.,
a school teacher whose ancestors
lived in SauguS as early as 1880.
Miss Hawkes. knew something
of the ironworks' history and
she began a fight to keep the
mansion. contending> that what
originated in New England
should remain there. She car
ried her plea to the then Gov
ernor, LeVerett Saltonstall, and
enlisted the help of Mr.. Ford,
too.
An association was formed in
1943 to focus public attention on
the site. Fortunately. one of
its meetings was attended by
Quincy Bent. a retired steel
executive who had a summer
residence in nearby Cape Ann.

the old ironworks as significant
