The Lebanon Slate Mill site (27GR221), East Lebanon, NH. Constructed in the 1860s as part of the short-lived slate industry in the upper Connecticut River valley, the site was later a tool factory and a bobbin mill before being abandoned in the 1920s. Archaeological and archival study of this site was undertaken for the City of Lebanon, and a set of recommendations were presented to the Lebanon Conservation Commission to ensure its preservation and use as a historic resource for the community.
