Presented by: Lance Bentley, Bliss McIntosh, Benjie White

Cambridge has historically played an important role in the development of the distribution of seeds. From the Shakers, to Rice Seed, Asgrow, Cambridge Seed Packet, Bentley, and Cambridge Pacific, the industry has been a force in our village. Explore with us the roots and tendrils of this essential service, and learn how seeds shaped the community of Cambridge, as well as the world beyond.

Suggested donation: $0-$10

This talk is a companion presentation to the exhibit in our Assembly Hall in the museum entitled, "The Storied History of Main Street." Be sure to come early to view the Museum's collection of Rice Seed memorabilia.
