General Information about Tahawus

Tahawus (also called Adirondac, Adirondak, or McIntyre) was a village in the Town of Newcomb, Essex County, New York, USA. It is now a ghost town situated in Adirondack Park, with County Road 25 running past the north part of the town. Tahawus was the site of major mining and iron smelting operations in the 19th century. Although standing as recently as 2005, the last mining facilities have since been demolished and removed.
The iron deposits were first found in 1826 by Archibald McIntyre and David Henderson, and iron ore was extracted with moderate success between 1827 and 1857. In 1857, after a struggle, the Adirondack Iron Works (also known as the "Upper Works") surrendered to the remoteness of the wilderness and Adirondac became known as the "deserted village". Impurities of titanium dioxide were found in the iron ore, which made it difficult for equipment during that time to properly process the ore. Also, a localized flood and a nationwide economic crisis were factors in closure of the Upper Works. National Lead Industries reopened the mines along Sanford Lake in 1940, also known as the "Lower Works." This location was about a mile south of the original operation. A new community was established in 1943 for the mine workers which was called "Tahawus." By 1945, Tahawus had eighty-four buildings. Some of the buildings leftover at Adirondac were also used. Forty million tons of titanium were extracted at the National Lead Industries mines before operations ceased in 1989.
