Ames Manufacturing Company
The Ames Factory is spread across 5 buildings. (LOCATION) A couple of the buildings have been made into housing. The Ames Factory came in the 1829 to Chicopee to make shovels and tools. On March 28 1833 they were along the canal and were now making swords and cannons. LINK to more images of the mill.
Behind you at 3 Grape Street is the home of John Chase – the agent for the canal.
Chicopee Canal Walkway
The Chicopee Canal now has a walkway (LOCATION) that extends opposite the Ames Factory site. It is on the former railroad track of the Chicopee River. Hopefully some day it will be extended more to the east and west.
Chicopee Canal Dam
There were two canal systems in Chicopee. The first was built in 1823 along the Chicopee Falls section of the Chicopee River. That canal and dam are now gone. A second canal was built in Chicopee in 1832 (started April 1 and water enters it December 8) along the lower part of the Chicopee River. Its dam and canal still exists and is visible off the dirt path that once held the railroad tracks. (LOCATION)
The Springfield Canal Company built this canal and it is called the Springfield Canal. The company sold water rights to mill that wanted to develop along the canal.
