On a perfect summer Sunday, we met at the site of the start of the Industrial Revolution here in the U.S. The location was Samuel Slater's Mill on the banks of the Blackstone river in Pawtucket, RI. We were treated to a tour of the mill facilities which have been renovated and equipped with period textile machinery. Some of the early equipment is in working condition, and it's operation was demonstrated as we progressed on the tour.
Another treat we received was a lunch which was provided by Walter Szeliga who was a knowledgeable and gracious host.
We had eight cars and 17 club members in attendance for the event.
