Weighing in at a mere 11 tons, this giant Harris Corliss flywheel is an impressive Round artifact representing the history of Franklin, New Hampshire. Installed in 1911 in the Franklin Mills textile facility formerly in this spot along the Winnipesaukee River, the wheel was a central part of a steam engine that cranked out 1250 HP for an 800 KW generator providing electricity for all the machinery.
