Description

Laconia’s Belknap Mill thrived within the boom of the Industrial Revolution. The historic mill abruptly rose to the vanguard of the town’s hosiery industry within the nineteenth century. Lakes Region historian Carol Lee Anderson reveals the mill’s unique history, including its inventive, entrepreneurial owners, their climb to industrial good fortune and the challenges they overcame. This fascinating story encompasses the saga of countless French-Canadian immigrants whose arrival within the Lakes Region influenced the course of industry and day-to-day life within the city of Laconia. The mill’s story continues, and the preservation of this historic textile mill features a fierce struggle of historic values as opposed to urban renewal. Learn the way this early symbol of the Industrial Revolution fought to transform the pride of Laconia’s industrial heritage. Foreword by J. Paul Morin
