History
Sponsor: Burden Iron Works Museum One East Industrial Parkway Troy, NY 12180-5942
Description: Gateway Tours for 2010. Origins of the Modern Horseshoe. One of their most enduringly popular tours. The modern machine made horseshoe was invented in South Troy, and the patent was awarded to Henry Burden almost exactly 175 years ago to the day of this tour. By the late 19c this historic site was producing nearly one million horseshoes a week, powered in part by the most powerful vertical water wheel in history and, in all probability, the model for the world’s first Ferris Wheel. Come and see this internationally significant spot and learn about the transition from blacksmith to furrier, including a demonstration of working models of Henry Burden’s horseshoe making machines. They will have on display the original 1835 Letters Patent for a horseshoe machine issued to Burden and personally signed by President Andrew Jackson. They will follow this session with an optional hike through the woods to the water wheel site. $15.
