Reviews
"Inside the museum were mini exhibits in two fairly small rooms. A permanent exhibit featured tools used in Amesbury and Salisbury mills along with products created at these mills, including carriage parts and hats. A special exhibit featured posters about early bicycles from the bicycle craze of the 1890s, when three shops in Amesbury built and sold bicycles. Signage was plentiful and well-written, and one room even had chairs, a rarity in museums. Both the center and nearby paved trails are accessible to those using wheelchairs and with limited mobility! Additionally, the building has a fun public bathroom painted bright red. This is a brief stop to refresh yourself while traveling and learn a little bit about local labor history."
"Fascinating history of a region that began as a farming town and developed into a mill city. Amesbury became the premier carriage manufacturer of the country! Exhibits are excellent and tell the story in a way that is fascinating to children and adults alike."
