“Greylock {Mt. Greylock, in the Berkshires} Meadow Green” (drypoint engravings), by Saugus, Mass.-based artist Kelly Slater, at the gallery at WREN (Women’s Rural Entrepreneurial Network), in Bethlehem, N.H.

At the Saugus Iron Works National Historic Site — the site of the first integrated ironworks in North America, founded by John Winthrop the Younger and in operation between 1646 and about 1670.

It includes the reconstructed blast furnace, forge, rolling mill, shear, slitter and a quarter-ton trip hammer.

It has seven large waterwheels, some of which are rigged to work in tandem with wooden gears connecting them. The facility has a wharf from which to load the iron onto ocean-going vessels, as well as a large, restored 17th-Century house.
