Mill River Industrial History

June 22, 2011 by JW Sinton

Please take a look here at the first installment of our mapping project — Kassia Rudd’s (Smith ’11) geographic study of the changing industries and industrial power sources from 1831-1895.  It includes the reach from the Upper Mills (Smith College) to Broughton’s Meadow (Florence).  We’ll be adding historical material from the 17th and 18th centuries shortly, and we look forward to adding the river reach from Leeds to Williamsburg.
