Iron ore

Does anyone know of a source for iron ore or ore pellets ? A few hundred
pounds would be plenty. I'm in southwestern Vermont but would still make the
purchase if it were far away. Its for a reenactment group project.
any info appreciated

Are there any steel mills in the area. I know, kinda obvious, but thought I'd ask. Have STELCO in Hamilton,Ont. in my backyard, so iron ore isn't really a problem to get... hth j

I'd contact the Chamber of Commerce in Virginia, Eveleth, Hibbing, Two Harbors or Silver Bay in Minnesota and ask them. When I had a 5th grade project on the state around 1980, they were happy to send a small bag of taconite pellets for free. There's got to be someone willing to ship a few boxes of them to you.
