In the 1880s, horses — maybe in protest of their tail hair being loomed into sofas — powered a change in the making of horse cloth textiles. Horse power pulled everything around York County in those years. Wagons to factories and railroads. Carriages from houses to opera. Trolleys carrying people and goods. These horses empowered flies.

And that caused master weaver John W. Eisenhart to refit his looms from hair cloth to wire cloth. The looms spun out bug wire - screens - for windows to keep bugs out of your soup and gravy. So this is a story of trolleys that begat New York Wire Cloth, home of the York Factory Whistle. And now its rusty factory has been polished into maker’s space - home of a new type of artisans and craftsmen.
