"A reminder of bygone days, this stone structure was
used to make wood into charcoal for the nearby iron smelters. Pine knots, a waste material from
the adjacent lumber mill, were a prime source for charcoal. Charcoal production through this kiln,
built in the 1860s, was necessary to the iron mining industry." erected 1970 in cooperation with the Lisbon Area Historical Society |
