A town of a few thousand powered a color worn by the United States Air Force: Uxbridge Blue, patented as Uxbridge 1683, cable shade 84 and approved by President Truman-yet on July 21, 2007 a fire and a failed sprinkler system gutted the Bernat Mill in seventy-two hours. How did a place that supplied Union blue, World War uniforms and six thousand workers end up reduced to smoke with no charges filed?
In this episode, we trace two centuries from John Capron's 1820 woolen mill on the Mumford River through the rise of Bachman Uxbridge Worsted Company and the invention of Uxbridge Blue, to the 2007 fire and its aftermath-asking how industrial fame, corporate decisions, and infrastructure failures converged to destroy a national landmark.
