3 C 5
Patterson Forge

4.1 mi. Northwest, at the Narrows, Montgomery Bell, Pioneer industrialist, iron master, philanthropist, and turfman, built a forge in 1818. Power was obtained by tunneling water through the hill at the top of the Narrows to a point below it where the river returned after making a 7 mi. horse shoe bend
