Dalton, MA’s Crane & Co. is known far and wide as the provider of the paper on which American currency is printed. With origins dating back to the American Revolution – they have a ledger with an order from Paul Revere – Crane has been at the forefront of paper production in the United States from the very beginning. Peter Hopkins, the director of the Crane Museum of Papermaking, shares the company’s extraordinary history, and provides producer Tony Dunne and Videographer Mark Langevin with a hands-on lesson in the art and craft of making paper – a process which has changed very little over the past 200 years.
