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.
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.
@@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.
Very cool! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks!

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

Crazy almost 200 years
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)
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.
Harsh working conditions.
