Changing Exhibition Gallery

The Changing Exhibition Gallery will have 3 new exhibitions a year, each with a different topic of life in Thomaston during WWII. Please join us on January 28th from 2 to 4:00 for the opening celebration of our new exhibition :“The Silvertown and East Thomaston Mill Villages.“ We discuss how the mill villages started and what life was like in a mill village. As an extra bonus we are including a wedding dress, worn by Edna Pryor for her marriage to John Dickens. This was the first weeding in the village Baptist church after WWII ended.

Below is a section of text panels and photographs from the current exhibition.
