Slater Mill Historic Site

    The Slater Mill Historic Site illustrates America's move to the industrial age led by Samuel Slater, who imported the technology from England in 1790. Highlights include the Old Slater Mill, with rare textile machines dating from 1838; the 1810 Wilkinson Mill, where a machine shop still operates; and the Sylvanus Brown House, a worker's home with replica early-1800s furnishings.
