On the East side of Route 28 on North Main Street you will learn about William Wood and the American Woolen Company, one the largest consolidated woolen mills in the US through the early 1900s. What made William Wood’s planned community, “Shawsheen”, the jewel of Andover and the envy of other mill towns?- See the Shawsheen buildings – Balmoral Spa, playing fields, dance hall, garage, restaurant and the white clapboard homes made for middle managers at the company – and enjoy the old photos of the area.
