Stevens Linen Mills

"Stevens Linen, the first linen textile mill in the United States, was formed in 1846 in Dudley Massachusetts. Built from granite quarried on site, the original mill (which is one of the oldest remaining mills in New England) still stands today. Products have varied throughout the years, shaped by such diverse elements as fashion and the demands of war. Cotton duck, shock absorber cord, linen fire hoses, heavy duty twine, upholstery material and wall coverings are just some of the products manufactured throughout the years. The most enduring product is the Linen Calendar Towel, invented by the mill manager in the 1950’s..." www.stevenslinen.com
