An exploration of the abandoned industrial, agricultural, and residential sites of Beaver County, Pennsylvania.
In abandoned and forlorn places, there are clues to our past. Beaver County was once home to enormous industrial plants, deep coal and clay mines, productive farms, and many more people than today. All along the two rivers, huge contributions to our national pride and economy were made. In the last halfcentury, those factories have shuttered, the mines have dried up, some farms have been swallowed by forest, and a lot of people have left. Among the many sites in this book are brick manufacturers, a chemical company, empty docks, abandoned roads, crumbling houses, and decrepit railroad bridges. Beaver County is home to some of the most stunning abandoned landscapes in Western Pennsylvania. By exploring these places, we can get closer to the people who came before us and the world they built.
