The
Belknap Mill- Busiel Mill
Constructed
in 1823, the Belknap Mill is the oldest unaltered brick textile mill
in the U.S. Once a hosiery mill, it houses an intact
hydraulic
power plant and a bell cast by George Holbrook, apprentice to Paul
Revere. The Busiel Mill, built in 1853 as a hosiery
mill,
was later used for the manufacture of clocks, electronic relays, and
organs.
