American Woolen Company Shawsheen Mills

York and Haverhill Streets

The American Woolen Company Mills, built as part of the Shawsheen planned community of William Wood, were completed in 1920. A power plant on the Shawsheen River provided electricity for the mill. In the 1950's the mill buildings were sold to a number of smaller businesses. The mills had functioned until that time.
