Pyrite mines in NH?

Hello,
I remember back in probably '72, or so, I went on a class field trip to a mine where we found Pyrite. My Elementary class was in Andover MA. I'm wondering if maybe it was Ruggles, but I don't see Pyrite listed on their site. Do you know of any areas in MA, or NH where we may have gone?

I bought my son a rock pick for a gift and I would like to take him somewhere that will produce some "neat" rocks. I have some local spots that I used as a kid for Quartz crystals and Feldspar, but I thought an actual mine would be a thrill for him.

Thanks for any advice,
Tim
