Historic Map - Millers Falls, MA - 1860
Description
View of Millers Falls, Montague, Franklin County, M.A., 1860.
This bird’s-eye view print of Millers Falls, Massachusetts was drawn and published in the late 1800's. Millers Falls was established in the 1860's as railroads merged at that location.
The former farming region evolved into a manufacturing center at that point, as the Miller Falls Manufacturing Company was established along the river near the Falls. The factory was a large producer of hand tools.
Millers Falls is now considered part of Montague.
The illustration includes labeled roads, buildings, bridges, waterways and railroad routes.
