Jane Bouley will give a talk and slide presentation on the History of The Atlantic Wire Company on Tuesday, April 26 at 7 p.m. at the Blackstone Library.

The talk will begin with early Branford settler John Wilford, who owned the land on Meadow Street, to William Hitchcock, his family, and the wire company he started in 1906. Bouley will discuss the building, the process of wire drawing, and the many products that were produced by using the wire from The Atlantic Wire Company.

The event is sponsored by the Branford Historical Society. Donations will be accepted and appreciated in support of the Harrison House. Refreshments will be served.
