Draperville - Its Grantham History
The GHS program - "Draperville - Its Grantham History" - was a success - so much so that the meeting was moved from the GHS building to the Grantham Town Hall to make room for all the attendees. Allen Walker and Ken Story discussed Draperville, Grantham's company town in the early 20th century (part of Eastman now includes Draper land). Exhibits, slide show and a recording are available at the Grantham Historical Society on Dunbar Hill Road. A PDF of the slide show is available by clicking here: Draperville slide show
Grantham Mountain Fire of 1953
Grantham Historical Society remembers the Grantham Mountain fire of 1953. Do you? Stop in at the historical society to see some old and new photos of the fire, read some interesting facts about the fire and, best of all, sign our “Memory Book.” We want you to write, briefly or not, about memories you have of the fire.
Too young to remember the actual fire? Maybe you heard stories from your family or friends about the fire? Tell us! The “Memory Book” is a three-ring binder with loose leaf pages. If you wish, you can write your memories at home on your own paper and then bring it to the historical society. A PDF of a slide show detailing the fire is available by clicking here: Grantham Mountain Fire
