Drink A Pint of 'Tag Town' Lager And Support Framingham History Center

Next Saturday, Nov. 15, the Framingham History Center’s will unveil its newest exhibit - The Dennison Manufacturing Company 1844-1990 exhibit.

Last night, the Framingham History Center and John Harvard’s Brewery and Ale House hosted a Dennison ‘Tag Town Lager’ beer launch party.

John Harvard’s will be selling this specially-brewed lager through December. And, $1 of every pint sold will go to the Framingham History Center.

The Dennison Manufacturing Company 1844-1990 exhibit opens to the public on Nov. 15 from 1 to 4 p.m. And then the exhibit will be open Wednesdays through Saturdays from 1 to 4p.m. through December 2015.

The story of “The Dennison” is very much the story of the town of Framingham for nearly 100 years.

The Dennison Mfg. Company came to town in 1897 and employed thousands of Framingham residents, until its merger with the Avery Corporation in 1990.

When the Dennison archives, which were so carefully kept in a special history room at the plant, were moved to headquarters in California there was a fear that a significant piece of Framingham history would be lost forever. Through a fortuitous set of circumstances, and a generous gift from the Avery Dennison Corporation, those archives were shipped back to Framingham over a year ago and our staff and volunteers have been caring for them ever since, according to the Framingham History Center.

The Framingham History Center will also be selling Dennison Mfg. pint glasses at $10 each throughout the exhibit or while supplies last.
