Yup. Practically all the furniture factories that Gardner was known for are all gone... It basically has almost no economy anymore... Neat fact though, that chair was placed in front of the old town hall, which is now an elementary building. But it also has an underground railroad tunnel going underneath over to a house nearby, still preserved. I lived in a house there for a short while that is still standing and over 200 years old (1797 from a photograph in the Gardner museum).

I love living in Massachusetts. I know a couple with a house in Warren that was built in 1756
