James Hartness was primarily responsible for Springfield, Vermont's industrialization in the early 1900's.  As an inventor with 120 patents to his name, his inventions propelled his company Jones & Lamson into prominence as a large-scale tool machine manufacturer. He had a love of astronomy that led to his building in 1910 a large tracking telescope and observatory that continues to operate today.  Hartness' accomplishments and patents are featured in the Hartness-Porter Astronomy Museum at the Hartness House.
