Saugus Iron Works National Historic Site


  • Mission

    The National Park Service (NPS) preserves unimpaired the natural and cultural resources and values of the national park system for the enjoyment, education, and inspiration of this and future generations. The National Park Service cooperates with partners to extend the benefits of natural and cultural resource conservation and outdoor recreation throughout this country and the world.

    About Us

    Saugus Iron Works National Historic Site is home to America's first successful iron works. Placed along the beautiful Saugus River, it contains estuary, freshwater, and forest ecosystems that are home to a diverse array of animals and plants. This group was formed to gather volunteers in an effort to preserve the park's natural resources through various projects like invasive plant removal, litter pick-up, and trail maintenance.
