Saugus Iron Works open for 2019 season The Saugus Iron Works National Historic Site has opened for the season. The Visitor Center, Museum and restrooms will have open hours Wednesday-Sunday, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Guided tours, programs, special events and Junior Ranger Programs will be available throughout the season until October 31. “Due to impacts from the federal government shutdown resulting in hiring delays, we will be open Wednesday-Sunday instead of the usual seven-day operation,” Chief of Visitor Experience and Community Engagement Susan Russo said. “The grounds, however, are typically open to visitors seven days a week to birdwatch, picnic and enjoy the great outdoors! Remember to Carry In, Carry Out.” Visit Saugus Iron Works and “Broadhearth,” the Eastern National Park Store at 244 Central Street in Saugus, Mass., or call the Iron Works at 781-233-0050.
