Stamped in the U.S.A.

The factories, mills and company towns that built the American middle class, and the men and women who worked in them until the gates closed for good.

Every episode counts down the places that were once the largest, the best or the last of their kind: steel mills, textile mills, appliance plants, car factories, shipyards and the brands your grandfather swore would never die. What they made, how many people they employed, the day they closed, and what stands on the ground today.

Scripts are researched from company histories, newspaper archives and labor records. Visuals combine restored period photographs, custom graphics and illustrated reconstructions.

If your family worked at one of these places, tell us in the comments. That is why this channel exists.
