Fitchburg, in north-central Massachusetts, in its industrial heyday. Originally powered by water power from the Nashua River, large factories produced machines, tools, clothing, paper and guns. The city is noted for its architecture, particularly in the Victorian style, built at the height of its mill town prosperity. A few examples: the Fay Club, the old North Worcester County Courthouse and the Bullock House.
For a small city, the Fitchburg Art Museum has a remarkably rich collection and many exciting events.
