Lots of pics; let ’em load. Old Mine Road runs through much of the Northwest corner of the state, mostly along the Delaware River. We found 3 points of interest so far within Warren County: the 3 minute traffic light, stone ruins of some buildings on the side...
Virtually nothing is left of Aetna, or Etna, Furnace. This place, once a furnace, forge, and mill, is now nothing more than a hill with crumbling bricks on it. The dirt road leading to the furnace site is 1/4 mile in length and takes you right to the...
