“Paper” - #TurnersFalls, Massachusetts. . #Papermaking requires a lot of water, and on an industrial scale a lot of power. The dam, and canal built along the #ConnecticutRiver in Turner’s Falls provided both and helped the #paper industry thrive in town for 150 years.

Another view from 40 years ago: I’d just returned from Mexico City via JFK. My family and I were driving home from New York City and we stopped at New Haven, Connecticut.
I made several Kodachrome slides with my Leica 3A, including this view of former New Haven Railroad electric multiple units that were stored near the station.
