Family Ties and Industrial Bonds: The Partnership of Brown, Almy, and Slater
Registration for this event is requested. The event is free and open to the public.
Explore the early New England history of industrialization and textile mills.
When Samuel Slater arrived in Rhode Island in January of 1790, few would have guessed that he was primed for success in the new United States. Yet, by the end of his life in 1835, Slater was obscenely wealthy, and his name was inextricably linked to the origins of American industry. During this lecture, a ranger will explore the connections between Moses Brown, William Almy, and Samuel Slater. These men were among the early partners who provided ideas, financing, and labor that launched the American Industrial Revolution.
This event is free and open to the public.
The talk will start at 6:30 P.M. Registration is requested. The event will be held in the Tilton Room at the Carpenter Museum (4 Locust Avenue, Rehoboth, MA). Parking can be found in the back lot behind the museum off of Bay State Road.
