Museum of Our Industrial Heritage

The museum was founded by local resident, Leon Weeks, and incorporated in 1998 as a 501(c)3 non-profit organization. The board and dedicated volunteers have been hard at work preserving, collecting, and documenting artifacts and related archival material—from the smallest tap and die to the large 19th century machines made right at our own site.

With its recent move to the Newell Snow factory site on Mead Street in Greenfield along the Green River (a site that has seen continued industrial use since John Parson’s 1690 sawmill), and our 2011 exhibit makeover, the museum is poised for growth and significant community involvement in the years ahead. We strive to make our exhibits and programming as accessible as possible to as many people as possible. Please join us in recognizing the importance and value of our area’s rich and unique industrial heritage!
