The Piermont flywheel is a huge piece of equipment, still standing, that furnished power for the first manufacturing facility at the Hudson River site of Piermont more than 100 years ago. It was used by the companies located there during Piermont's industrial heyday, including the Piermont Paper Company, Robert Gair Company, Continental Can Company and Federal Paperboard/Clevepack. In 1983 the last manufacturer ceased operation and the flywheel began deteriorating. In February 1992 a five-month project restored the flywheel into a free-standing sculpture. It was sandblasted and the metal coated.
