Mount Pleasant Glass Factory
Located in Greenfield, The Mount Pleasant glass factory produced bottles for Saratoga's booming mineral water industry from the early 1840s until the late 1860s. The factory brought with it workers and their families. A whole community sprouted out of the need for wood and supplies to feed the factory. The community included a tavern, saw mills, a school house and several family dwellings. The factory and many of the buildings have been reclaimed by nature leaving a dense forest in its place but with its close proximity to the road, you can walk through what's left of the factory and find chunks of the green glass that is unique to that area. The land is now owned by the state and is open to the public for recreational use such as camping and hiking.
