Inside The Mill
The following photos are of the interior of the Slack Shoddy Mill. They clearly show both mill workers and machinery of the mill.
The following photos of many interior views of the mill and its works are a
wonderful gift from
PATRICIA JOHNSON WELCH.
These photos are over 100 years old. Patricia is the daughter
of Virginia Slack and J. B. Johnson (former Governor of the State of Vermont).
Virginia (Patricia's mother) was the daughter of W. H. H. Slack (one of the
founders of the mill).
Many thanks to Patricia for sharing these great images with all of us. It is very much appreciated.
