production that was not fully aware of that takes place in Fall River, particularly that happens within the old mills. The mills were always described to me as empty shells, symbolizing a once great past of Fall River’s textile renaissance. I think now through visiting the mills and seeing what my peers were able to capture from other mills, I have a little different perspective of them. Although I know proportionally there is a great deal of empty, unused mills there is definitely more going on in them than I had thought in the past. I think what surprised me the most is how there seems to be little effort or incentives to try to get a new generation of sewers, snitchers, and workers. Many of the workers have been doing their job for nearly forty years and are getting older so when they are all ready to retire, who is to take their place? It makes me wonder how, in five or ten years, when the workers are ready to retire, how this will effect the businesses. Only a few factories seemed to have younger generations working for them.

I used to go into mills growing up for various homeschooling reasons and they were also extremely dark and eerie feeling, even when well inhabited. The mill I visited was far less eerie than anticipated. Even the storage areas within the mill were far more taken care of than I had expected. Entering into the factories was pretty overwhelming.…

to work every day for what they felt was the best paycheck they ever made. The mill was more than work; it was family, life and salvation. It was baseball games, childhood pranks, poverty, singers, and love. From the mills of Greenleaf, to the textile union strikes, to President Roosevelt changing labor laws, the mills were a legacy of hard work. Americans worked hard, suffered lots and never complained. This was mill life and many still look back on that life as the most they ever had. This…
