CRMII is celebrated as a foundation of the American Industrial Revolution that inspires future innovation. Our venue is perfect for unforgettable events!
Located on the scenic banks of the Charles River in the historic 1814 Boston Manufacturing Company textile mill, CRMII is on the National Register of Historic Places as America’s first factory. Hands on exhibits feature American innovation and invention from 1812 to modern day, including the Boston Manufacturing Company, The Orient Bicycle and Metz Automobile, the Waltham Watch Factory and more.
In addition to the core exhibits in the Main Gallery and Watch Gallery, the Museum also features two revolving exhibit spaces, changing anywhere from 3-6 months. To see what is on display now, visit our website: www.charlesrivermuseum.org
