The History of the Jewel Mill
Tuesday, June 6, 6:30PM at the Rowley Library
Also known as the Pearson/Dummer Mills, the Jewel Mill in Rowley occupies part of the original fulling mill site. The first fulling mill was built in 1643 by John Pearson and marked the beginning of the textile industry in the Colonies. The first saw and grist mills were also located here, and later the mills of the Glen Mills Cereal Company owned by the Dummers.
Cheryl Cahill, retired middle school principal and current home-owner of this special property will talk about its fascinating history.
The program is free and open to the public. The Rowley Public Library is located at 141 Main Street in Rowley. Check our web site at www.rowleylibrary.org/calendar or call us at 978-948-2850 for more information.
