So Long for Now!

me and GordonBy Laura Stagliola, Museum Assistant

 
Many of you may not know it, but I began my experience with the Framingham History Center as a volunteer in 2011. I was a Sophomore at Framingham State University looking to dive into museum work, and little did I know I would still be involved 4 years later! However, I will be leaving for pastures new to take up a position with the General Society of Mayflower Descendants in Plymouth.

The decision to accept a new position was very difficult because I have truly enjoyed my time at the History Center being surrounded by such a wonderful group of people. Some of my favorite memories were taking part in the Dennison Manufacturing Co. exhibit Opening Night festivities, working with the Education Committee to revamp the Third Grade Program Docent book, and attending all the programs, events, and workshops where I had the chance to interact with members, donors, volunteers, and Framingham enthusiasts.

I would like to thank the FHC staff and volunteers for inviting me into their tight-knit family and teaching me the true value of preserving local history: connecting the community with the rich history that makes their home so special. I will carry these teachings with me throughout my museum career.
