A small team of museum members were working at the museum today (7/24/16) preparing the new exhibit to accompany Dennis Picard's Toys, Games and Puzzles presentation on August 17th. While going through some 19th century books that would have been popular with children and young adults, a small newspaper clipping fell out of one of the books. As best we can tell, the following dates from approximately 1883. You never know what will turn up at NCCHP! In the spirit of keeping the drumbeat of history alive.......
NCCHP was created to preserve and present the rich history of Granville (Massachusetts) and the Pioneer Valley area. The museum is housed within the historic buildings of the Noble & Cooley drum factory. The buildings, collections and original manufacturing equipment offer a unique opportunity to experience "Yankee Ingenuity" as it impacted the Granville community and manufacturing from the mid-1800's forward.
