The legacy of Beacon Manufacturing

For Westminster’s 145th birthday next month, the Westminster Area Historic Preservation Society plans to celebrate the legacy of the city’s former major employer–the Beacon Manufacturing Company.  Tammy S. Bryson says  by sharing memories and pictures from the Beacon era, those who worked there and family members can enhance the remembrance.  They are accepting pictures and other mementoes at 723-3535 or [email protected]. “Hopefully,” says Bryson, “there will be a book to preserve these important people and keep this memory alive.  The city’s birthday will officially be observed from 2 to 4 pm Saturday, March 21.
