- Once the largest Blasting Powder Operation by Du Pont Company - Mooar, Iowa earned the name "Powder Town" -
Episode 1 - Season 2 - of Midwest Ghost Town
Most information with details in the podcast can be found at a few other references provided.
One of them is the DuPont Hagley Museum - found at hagley.org - in reference to dates and history of the company through the DuPont Company on the Brandywine Project - an interactive look at the history of the DuPont Company black powder works that operated along the Brandywine River in Wilmington, Delaware, Delaware from 1803 to 1921.
In addition - there are two short videos on TH-cam worth watching on the subject of Powder Town - entitled du Pont Iowa Powder Mills 1 & 2 - produced by Ed Vinson. They are both older videos, but Ed did a great job highlighting and giving information about the town and Mill.
Fascinating... and tragic. And yeah, I was a bit lost at the beginning and trying to figure out how it tied into Powder Town!

Ended up there on a strange and ill-fated double date in 1974 or 1975.
