We went back to Tredegar Iron Works today - this time with Jordan. Our last visit was a class field trip where we didn't get to see any of the artifacts outside this building due to rain (and probably lack of interest of 100 fifth grade children). Tredegar Iron Works began production in 1846. They provided the Confederate Army with their ammunition during the Civil War. They rebuilt after the big Richmond fire and finally closed their doors in 1957. There is a great deal of history right here in this somewhat small area on the James River. We spent the morning here and the afternoon at the Edgar Allan Poe Museum.
