A collection of articles exploring the story of textiles, industry, and the people who built Connecticut's mill towns — from the colonial era through today. Primarily written and researched by Windham Town Historian, Jamie Eves, alongside contributions from other local historians, tracing everything from preindustrial water-powered mills to the rise of the American Thread Company, the lives of the workers who kept the machines running, and the eventual decline of New England's textile industry.
