Exhibition 'The Karagianis Gallery' in Belknap Mill Museum
The Karagianis Gallery offers a comprehensive exploration of the Belknap Millโs rich history, chronicling its transformation over 200 years. As the oldest unaltered textile mill in the United States, the gallery presents a detailed narrative of its founding in 1823, its role in New Englandโs Industrial Revolution, and its significance in shaping Laconiaโs manufacturing identity. Through exhibits and demonstrations, visitors can witness how machines revolutionized the knitting industry, allowing for faster, more efficient production of socks, stockings, and other garments.
