Ambler was first settled by white Europeans in 1682 and was a small mill town until it was transformed into a factory town for asbestos company Keasbey and Mattison.  The “asbestos king” built his own castle here.  We will walk from the train station and learn who has lived in Ambler since the time of William Penn’s arrival.  We will walk by a castle and grand Victorian homes, and see some of the serious environmental impact that industrialization has had on the town.
