Lonaconing Silk Mill
The Lonaconing Silk Mill, also known as the Klotz Throwing Company, is the last intact silk mill in the United States. It is located in Lonaconing, Maryland. A silk throwing mill twisted or wound raw silk into thread, where it was then sent to be woven into various textiles by silk manufacturers. It closed in 1957 after workers went on strike.
