Events & News

There is much going on behind the scenes on the theme of paper. We are conducting oral histories of former Crane paper makers and creating a short documentary about the purchase of the last running paper mill in Lee, in 2009.  And as we approach the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, we are doing extensive research on the role of paper in the Revolution, before, during and aferwards.
