In addition to fabric and bed coverings, workers at the Knox Woolen Mill in Camden, Maine, made felt for use in paper production. Many of their products were shipped to pulp and paper factories around Maine. The Knox Mill made the "world's first endless paper-making felt."
This view is of the back of the mill from the mill pond on the Megunticook River. The mill transitioned from water to steam power and later electrical power to run the looms.
