Very cool! Thanks for sharing!

Thanks!

I appreciate your video. I needed it to write a paper for my history class without actually travelling to the mill. Your video was the only video I found that gave a well rounded tour of the building.

My Grandmother worked there. I remember as a child my mother bring me to pick up mere at 6pm after work.

Thanks so much, very interesting! Can only imagine what it must have been like to work there. My grandmother worked at a sewing factory in Chicago as a teenager, probably similar conditions.

Yea it would have been a hard life for sure. : /

@@VATravels I wish I had asked my grandmother more about her experiences at the sewing factory- all I know is she was operating sewing machine, but when they learned she could tat lace, they moved her to a darkened room to do that. This was in the early 1900s, when lace was still used to trim dresses and ladies’ handkerchiefs.

Harsh working conditions.

My Momma, three sisters, brother, brother-in-law and several cousins worked at Dyersburg Cotton Mill in Dyersburg TN

My grandmother watched the Mill being built from her front porch...my sister watched it burn to the ground from that same front porch. Such a sad day.

I hope while you were there you had a chance to visit Arthur’s Diner for a famous Boott Mill Sandwich ❤️ (proud Lowell native here)
