Charlie Herrick worked in the Bates Mill beginning in 1970. He discusses the night shift and unions at the Bates Mill. He also talks about how the changing technology and business practices impacted the work in the mill over time.
Maine MILL’s permanent exhibit is closed as we prepare to move to our new space. “Drawn in Light: Charlie Hewitt” remains open through the end of May and is free to the public. Opening weekend in our new building will be June 26-28.
