GCC#074 Tupper’s Toiletries Traditional Geocache

Tupper says, “Cleanliness Counts. Always take the time to Cache In Trash Out.”
That’s what Irondale’s mining history did. Irondale got its start in 1870 after large deposits of iron were discovered. At one time Irondale boasted three hotels, boarding houses, miner's cottages, two stores, a post office and a barrel factory. The mine lasted until 1900. Most of the early mining remnants have disappeared.

Of interest: Irondale spans what was once the boundary of Glamorgan and Snowdon townships (now part of the municipalities of Highlands East and Minden Hills). The land that this Ball Field and Community Centre sits on was given to Glamorgan Township by Joe Fetch in 1974. The Glamorgan Council sold it to Snowdon Township for $1.00. So now, the Irondale Ball Field and Community Centre is situated in one municipality but owned by the other.
