Exploring the ABANDONED American Woolen Company Buildings (Norwich, CT)

[@AustinT247]

So dope! Good to see you getting back into some buildings again! Kudos JMASS!

[@j-mass]

Ayy thanks bro! It was nice to get back into it!

[@elvee7851]

Good exploration - amazing just how emptied out they are. The drone footage at the end was awesome!!

[@j-mass]

Thank you so much for tuning in as always! 🙏

[@1provoid657]

These New England industrial age factories are awesome!

[@j-mass]

I absolutely agree! Such an interesting and integral part of New England’s storied history!

Thank you so much, I appreciate that! 🙏

Also carney hospital and nashoba valley medical center in dorchester and Ayer mass are now permanently closed. I suspect they’ll be abandoned soon or potentially even now. However I would assume they’ll have power and be secured.

[@julianmalcolm]

Great video JMASS!! These buildings would be perfect for adaptive reuse similar to the storage building. I have a friend I explore with sometimes that is a germaphobe and he hates even touching a rusty piece of metal. Keep up the great work!

[@j-mass]

Ugh yeah I hate touching rusty metal too, I try my best to avoid it every time I explore! Thanks for watching dude!

[@joeyc1563]

NOTICE: For my fellow explorers who live in or near mass and if you are wanting to go to Fernald state school, do so. Security during the day is virtually nonexistent and there’s still 20+ buildings to explore but I’m urging people to hurry because last time I went (2 weeks ago), construction crews are up front near the admin building and I hear they’re planning on demolishing the campus in its entirety to build some sort of amusement park by 2025.

[@j-mass]

Such a shame that they’re planning on demolishing that place, it’s a piece of history that should be preserved rather than erased and forgotten!

[@joeyc1563]

@@j-mass I just find it dumb how they’re building a place of fun where a place of abuse and somber once stood

[@j-mass]

Very well said, I 100% agree.

[@eazy_eyt1935]

THANK YOU FOR THE INFO IM GOING THERE TMRW

[@Heckk_oh]

Been going here often since 2016. Have a couple of videos and pictures of the north western part of campus before it was demolished. I walk my dog there during the day still and have a few lil Easter eggs I’ve left that I’ve seen in a few peoples videos now. It’s a shame the town won’t just turn it into a park. I heard it’s going to be apartments and maybe a golf course.

[@beantownwelder8132]

Great video do Microfab in Amesbury .

[@goxplr_]

Awesome video dude! Super cool stop! I’ve seen it from afar many times

[@j-mass]

Same here! I’ve seen it from the outside before, but it was cool finally venturing inside to explore!

[@Hello_Gypsy]

First there was a pixie and now there's going to be a gypsy 😂 Amazing to see you return to your urbexing roots; you're really selling this location. The views, the elevator, that courtyard, and the ease of access combine to make this an inviting spot that I now want to explore.

[@j-mass]

Thank you so much! It really is such a fascinating place to explore with so much history!

[@Hello_Gypsy]

@@j-mass As always, you've been dope AF and inspirational, J-MASS

[@Skishtube]

In my town nature reserve/river there are abandoned bunkers from some war just sitting in the woods with their doors wide open, I find it so cool how buildings lost in time can be re-explored by people like you so that others can learn as much as they can about it before it’s gone

[@j-mass]

I absolutely agree! I think historical preservation and documentation of sites like these is paramount, as they will likely not last for much longer. Also, any chance you’re referring to the Assabet River National Wildlife Refuge WWII bunkers?

[@kennethsonier1766]

Good afternoon from Cape Cod ⛵ well there wasn't a whole lot left behind but it was still interesting to explore. The drone footage was really cool. Thanks for another awesome exploration and be careful out there ✌️🇺🇲

[@j-mass]

Thanks so much dude, I appreciate you checking in! 🙌

HEEYYYY UR IN MY BACK YARD!! NORWICH GIRL HERE UR MY NEW FAV CREATOR THANX FOR REPPN NORWICH WE GOT SO MUCH IMPORTANT HISTORY MANY DONT KNOW UNLESS UR FAM ORIGINATED HERE WE'RE IN BETWEEN TWO BIGGEST TRIBAL CASINOS IN THE WORLD!!!

[@j-mass]

Thank you so much! 🙌 Agreed, Norwich is very underrated-so much history and culture in this city!

[@megaaggron9778]

The buildings across the river are part of the American thermos co! From what I saw most of the plant was converted, but there’s still some cool parts

[@j-mass]

Oh nice! Think it’s still worth checking out?

[@megaaggron9778]

@@j-mass I’d definitely say so, when I’m in ct next I’ll definitely have it on my list of possible stops

Wow Norwich CT. Great

Norwich is such a historic city with a lot of cool sites! I filmed another abandoned exploration here last year at the Norwich State Hospital (also in Preston)!

JMASS did you stop at Mohegan sun to win some JCASH?

[@j-mass]

I did! But unfortunately I J-LOST $100 🤣

@@j-mass better luck next time! I dig the new luxury bowling allys down there. Tragically 10 pin, not candlepin. Still nice.

[@emmanuelmcdaddie5165]

Will you be able to go to the places you didn’t get to go to cause of the cops? 19:17 that is very weird and a little creepy cause I’ve seen that in another video

[@j-mass]

I still want to be careful while exploring, but this place was not too bad!

[@crystal264]

Woooh first view!🎉

[@j-mass]

Let’s gooooo! 🔥

[@davidotto7666]

I just want to give a shout out there to everybody I hope everybody's doing well but hey the main reason why I'm sending this messages because I think this video needs more likes because this dude put a lot of hard work and to give him his content and he's doing dangerous stuff that we don't have to be in arms way he's doing it for us so I think we at least tell him a thumbs up people let's go LOL

[@jenniferhadley3818]

It's funny that I've lived in Norwich CT for 35 years and I never have been to those buildings. We also don't pronounce Thames the way you are. 😂 Lol

[@j-mass]

Haha really? In the United Kingdom, the river is pronounced “Tames” lol… didn’t know it was different in Connecticut!

[@jenniferhadley3818]

@@j-mass lmao it's different in Connecticut because we're not in England and a lot of words are produced differently in the US. It's pronounced "th" like in "the" word the and then ames like the old department store. The English pronounce th as T.

[@bullzeyez3236]

Yea sorry, locals dont call it the Tames. We say Thames .

[@j-mass]

Interesting, did not know that! I always assumed it was pronounced “Tames” like the river in London.

[@bullzeyez3236]

@@j-mass Also, people from the UK dont pronounce it Tames. Its pronounced " Temz " . I like to support growing channels, I would suggest a bit more research in the future. Best of luck on your channel.

Filming yourself breaking the law by trespassing inside private property is one dumb thing, but telling the entire internet of its name and location so idiots can go there and get caught or get hurt, and or destroy the place... what do you think will happen when Norwich PD ask some kids who go and either vandalize the place or get hurt? I bet they'd say i saw JMass go there on KZbin..
