The New Hampshire Historical Society and the Learning Institute at New England College (LINEC) will present the program “Swenson Granite: Then and Now,” on Oct. 17 at 1 p.m.
David Duford will use photos and video to discuss the changes and challenges Swenson Granite Co. has faced since John Swenson formed the company in 1883. The class will include a demonstration of splitting granite, as well as granite samples.
Duford has worked at Swenson Granite, a fourth-generation, family-owned granite company, educating the public and promoting the benefits of using cut granite and natural stone for more than 19 years.
LINEC offers noncredit, peer-led and peer-taught courses by volunteers for the pleasure of learning.
“Swenson Granite: Then and Now” will be held at the Historical Society, 30 Park St. For more information, contact Sandy Dallaire at 224-3447 or visit linecatnec.org.
