Red Iron Ore Mine

Posted by: Naaman 

 The old foundations on the hill are the remains of the Spaulding Red Iron Ore Mine. Is was in this gap in Red Mountain, on Bayliss Grace's farm, that the first Red Ore was mined in the Birmingham District in 1848 and hauled by wagon to a Bibb county Furnace to become iron.
