Tredegar Iron Works, Industrial heritage site in Richmond, United States.

The Tredegar Iron Works facility spans across multiple historic buildings along the James River, featuring original brick structures and metal manufacturing equipment.

Established in 1837, the iron works manufactured over 1,100 artillery pieces and served as the primary supplier of weapons for the Confederate army.

The site preserves the stories of skilled workers, including enslaved individuals who played essential roles in the metal manufacturing operations.

The complex houses the American Civil War Museum with exhibits about industrial production, military equipment, and daily demonstrations of metal crafting techniques.

The iron works facility survived the evacuation fires of Richmond in 1865 due to its workers protecting the structures with wet blankets.
