Description
The Historic Village at Allaire was once home to the Howell Iron Works and was owned by James Allaire. Howell was a bustling village that employed 400-600 people. There were four furnaces, a casting shed, an on-site screw factory, a general store and multiple trade shops. This wonderful old wheelwright shop is an example of one such trade shop. Peak years of the Howell Iron Works were from 1822 to 1836. Eventually the iron works fell into bankruptcy during the 1940's.
