 Opened in 1881, Muscoda became the largest of the Tennessee Coal and Iron mine operations. 
 The Muscoda facilities supplied iron ore and limestone to the TCI Open-Hearth furnaces located at the Ensley Furnaces Works until 1961.

    My grandmother used to speak of living at Number 4 Raimund. I assume this was Muscoda. Bessemer Hall of History says there was no Number 4 Raimund.
    Any photos of the old Hopewell School?

    How frequently do you find squatters, or signs thereof, in these abandoned places? Just curious, not looking to get anyone in trouble.

    I was under the assumption that the whole McBride family owned the mines not just one person

      I don't understand why the administrator keeps removing posts. I have found every single place he thinks he has hidden.
