Old Iron Town, ghost town in Iron County, Utah, United States

Old Iron Town is a near-ghost town in Iron County, Utah, about 22 miles from Cedar City in Dixie National Forest. Its ruins include a beehive-style charcoal oven, a furnace called an Arastra used to prepare molding sand, and parts of the original foundry, including its chimney. The site was fenced off by the Sons of Utah Pioneers.

Old Irontown was founded in 1868 as a second attempt to smelt iron from Iron Mountain after Cedar City's furnace produced only about 25 short tons of pig iron over three years. The site operated until 1876, when litigation over the Edmunds–Tucker Act and the Panic of 1873 forced its closure. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on May 14, 1971.

Wear comfortable walking shoes since the ground is uneven and the site is best explored on foot. There are no shops or guides on site, so it helps to read about the place before visiting and plan extra time to look around the ruins.

The preserved beehive-style charcoal oven and the "Arastra" mill that ground sand for molds are the features most visitors walk past without knowing their purpose. The site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on May 14, 1971, and the Sons of Utah Pioneers fenced the grounds to protect them.
