Excellent collection of early American industry with emphasis on Waltham area businesses
Charles River Museum of Industry and Innovation的点评
点评：The Charles River Museum of Industry & Innovation has an excellent collection of early American industry, with an emphasis on Waltham area businesses. The displays and artifacts cover the start of the America Industrial Revolution in Waltham, its expansion to other New England cities as demand of products grew (and the local water power couldn't keep up). In addition to the early cotton mills, this Museum also covers other early industries such as the once extensive watch and related timepieces industry.
The emphasis at the Museum was the machinery used to create and repair the factory production lines, so there are more samples of the machine tools being used. For actual examples of the operating woolen mills, you should visit the Boots Wood Mill Museum in Lowell. Many of the same precision crafts needed to make one type of machine tool (such as for a clothing mill) are also shown being applied to other types of manufacturing (such as the timekeeping gears for a pocket watch). You can see how Waltham developed its reputation for skilled manufacturing.
The Museum also provided a detailed history of the mill owners, and how their relationship with their workers changed over time. A great place to visit if you're interested in early American industrial history.

翻译：查尔斯河工业与创新博物馆收藏了大量早期美国工业的优秀藏品，尤其侧重于沃尔瑟姆地区的企业。展品和文物涵盖了美国工业革命在沃尔瑟姆的起源，以及随着产品需求增长（当地水力发电无法满足需求）而扩展到新英格兰其他城市的历程。除了早期的棉纺厂，该博物馆还涵盖了其他早期产业，例如曾经规模庞大的钟表及相关钟表行业。
博物馆的重点是用于制造和维修工厂生产线的机械，因此馆内展出了更多当时正在使用的机床样品。如果您想亲眼目睹毛纺厂的实际运作，不妨参观位于洛厄尔的博姿木工博物馆。博物馆展示了许多制造特定类型机床（例如服装厂）所需的精密工艺，这些工艺也应用于其他类型的制造业（例如怀表的计时齿轮）。您可以了解沃尔瑟姆是如何凭借精湛的制造工艺赢得声誉的。
博物馆还详细介绍了工厂主的历史，以及他们与工人的关系是如何随着时间推移而演变的。如果您对早期美国工业历史感兴趣，这里是一个值得参观的好地方。
