The Charles River Museum of Industry and Innovation in Waltham, Massachusetts has a collection of machines and artifacts from the industrial revolution of the 19th and 20th centuries.
It is located in the former Boston Manufacturing Company textile mill, which predates those in Lowell.
The visit to the museum provided a great opportunity to show the simple elegance of the early manufacturing.
Much, but not all, of the collection is dedicated to the former Waltham Watch Company.
