American Precision Museum's SUSTAINABILITY SPEAKERS SERIES continues this Sunday, August 5, at 12:30 PM

Dr. Robert Forrant, Distinguished University Professor at UMass, Lowell will speak. The title of his presentation is The Rise, Demise, and Possible Rebirth of the Connecticut River Valley Industrial Corridor.

Through an examination of the history of innovation and sustainable development in Worcester and in cities and towns along the Connecticut River from Springfield, MA to Springfield, VT, Dr. Forrant will describe how these places developed enterprises that offered workers decent wages and an opportunity to support their families. How did this happen? And, more importantly what took place after the Second World War, which interrupted this virtuous circle of sustained and reasonably share prosperity?

Admission to the presentation is FREE – exhibit hall admission is $8.00 for adults; $5.00 for students; $20 for a family of four. Current exhibit is "SHAPING AMERICA."
