The Hanford Collection is the work of Horace D. Hanford and his son, James Ralph Hanford, taken from the early 1890s to the early 1920s. The Collection represents the themes of people and family, life and work, and change over time.
Every winter East Meredith celebrates it's history by harvesting ice from the mill pond. Hanford Mills Museum staff show visitors how it was done 100 years ago, and that it's still fun, fun fun! The event is a hands on experience for young and old alike.
