We experienced the first industrial city in America, where innovators harnessed waterpower and created factories that were vertical assembly lines for cotton cloth weaving. We learned about the mill girls and the immigrants who provided the labor to make it all work. We learned about the role Wymans played in this advancement, including William Wyman, who developed real estate in the city, and his daughter Sarah Wyman Whitman who became an artist and entrepreneur in Boston.
