We love this State Park and visit often...
Allaire State Park is best known as a historic 19th-century iron making town,
for Allaire Village and The Pine Creek Railroad.
This block of row houses was originally constructed in 1832 and was completed the following year.
These row homes housed the skilled iron workers and their families.
James P. Allaire's businesses, The Howell Iron Works Company
and the Pine Creek Railroad Company.
It was a nice look in to yesteryear!

Dear Debbie!
Thank you so much for introducing this State Park and interesting museum. Your report and photos are beautiful.
Have a beautiful sunny week.
Greetings from rainy, autumn Poland.
Interesting photo's and I can't imagine living in a row house. They must not have been much privacy.
I do love looking inside those buildings and just imagining living in that time and what it must have been like, looks like they have some nice furnishings in those. We lived in row houses at a few bases were stationed at.
Thanks for the tour! I'm a little surprised the iron workers home building is made of bricks. Many such quarters in other industries were made of wood. Linda in Kansas

What a great place to explore. Love those trains!
Such an interesting place, Debbie! Love the pictures. The rail cars remind me of my paternal grandfather; he was a rail engineer. Wish I could have known him.
