Tahawas, NY

Once nearby the older 19th century McIntyre Iron Works, ("titaniferous magnetite") and the village of Adirondac, the titanium oxide mined here, especially from 1942 to around 1960, was first hauled by horse to ? in the early 20th century, then later by truck into North Creek, NY where garnet is/was mined nearby, and then by a new rail road to here, also legally contested (today the rail only runs from North Creek to Riparius, to the south along the Hudson River as a tourist train). Once, about 1865, maps showed plans for railroads through here to the Lake Ontario port of Ogdensburg, NY, for example, where the artist Frederick Remington, known for his "American West" bronze sculpture, resided, a friend of Theodore Roosevelt's, a museum there today.
