New Display Spaces at Canton Public Library

PictureNew display cases at the Canton Public Library.
The Canton Historical Society and the Canton Public Library have joined up to allow the public access to an exciting new look into Canton's History. In the historic front of the library between the Founders Hall and the two Hemenway Reading Rooms are beautiful oak cases that now house a rotating display for the collections of the Canton Historical Society. 

These new display cases will change quarterly and will help give the public a glimpse of the amazing collections at the Society. The inaugural display features souvenir china with historic images from sites around Canton, as well as a display of period postcards from the early 20th century. The china is particular is extremely rare and was commissioned by the Unitarian Ladies Sewing Circle and dates to 1893. You can read more about the history of this china and the ladies who raised money for social causes.   

The cases were paid for by a donation from the Canton Historical Society and the Canton Public Library Ed Bolster Local History Fund.
