Charles River Museum

In 1813 the first 'modern factory' designed by Lowell and Moody kick-started the American Industrial Revolution.
Located beside the Charles River, it's power was harnessed through dams and water-wheels to start the evolution of high-tech engineering and production processes. 
Latterly the Waltham Watch Co. was also based on this site (1854-1950) - the first high precision manufacturing on a grand scale.
The museum now on this site also has a Linotype machine - see : https://storyus.life/+seymours/linotype
