Alaire is pretty cool, although it runs on a shoe-string budget. The $5 admission fee is worth it just for the apple cider doughnuts at the bakery.  There's a large visitors' center that explains what happened there and several buildings.  Sadly, the iron furnace, which was the main purpose of the entire site, is just the chimney now. Outside the village is a nice little historic railroad. Dave -- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. www.avast.com
