Purchase options and add-ons

As the millennium approaches, New Britain residents
have an additional reason to celebrate. The Year 2000
marks New Britain''s Sesquicentennial anniversary of its incorporation as a town. The year of its founding, 1850, was indeed a pivotal year for this manufacturing hub located in the middle of Connecticut. New Britain was once a rural area dotted with blacksmith shops and mills, but quickly
evolved into a thriving manufacturing center. The din
of factory whistles and the continuous flow of the varied accents of immigrants soon enlivened this sleepy little town. New Britain''s rise in the manufacturing world is surprising, as the town is less than 14 square miles in size and originally had no large natural body of water nor a railroad running
through it. However, New Britain came to be one of the most important manufacturing centers in the country.

More History from New England Danvers State Hospital revolutionized mental health care for more than a century, beginning in 1878. Today, it's buildings still have stories to tell. Though quiet and unobtrusive, Salem is blossoming with new citizenry, and it is still uncovering history with recent archaeological excavations. Mystery and untold history come together in Salem. Far on the northeastern coast of Maine sits a small island whose size belies the depth of its storied past. Within these pages, meet the early residents of the island and learn how this farming and fishing community first developed as a summer resort destination in the late 1800s. This fascinating volume contains over two hundred old photographs. Vintage images of Hampton Beach show the resort through its many changes. Located in the far northwest corner of the state, the islands are well known as a shoreline retreat for all of New England, with their small-town feel and picturesque farmlands.

5.0 out of 5 stars New Britain, CT...Hardware City of the World
Reviewed in the United States on January 27, 2015
As a native of New Britain, I was curious as to how the city grew to be the the Hardware City. My mother was also a New Britain native and told me how during WWII, they had to have black-out curtains on their windows at night so they wouldn't be bombed. When I asked why anyone would bomb New Britain, she told me because of Fafnir Bearing. As a child, I couldn't imagine my city being that important during a war. I recently found out about these books by Arlene C. Palmer and ordered all three books. I found them very informative with a lot of pictures and consequently have a greater appreciation for my home town. Even though it's hard to see how New Britain has declined in the ensuing years, if you have any interest in how New Britain grew famous for many hardware items, not just ball bearings, you'll find this an intriguing read.
