Small Town Framingham Dennison news

The "New" Dennison Collection Roundtable Crafts made from Dennison crepe paper Babylonian "tags" from Dennison's in-house museum The Tag Waltz - an 1894 commission (read below) Thursday, January 24th 7 pm - 8 pm The Edgell Memorial Library 3 Oak Street, Framingham Centre When the Dennison Manufacturing Company's corporate archives were shipped back to "Tag Town" and donated to the Framingham History Center, a group of trained volunteers under the guidance of our Curator began the painstaking yet enthralling task of combing through cabinet after cabinet of samples, letters, collections and records. There is still more to be done to truly capture all that remains in this remarkable archive, but we thought a roundtable discussion of what we've found so far would be enlightening for our members and Dennisonians....Come hear from staff and volunteers about what they've discovered so far among artifacts and fascinating documents that have captivated even those who consider themselves "Dennison experts". One such item (shown above) is The Tag Waltz, written to celebrate Dennison's 50th anniversary in 1894! Come and see more of these "finds" and learn about the new light they shine on one of Framingham's longest-running business enterprises. Reservations are encouraged but not required.
