Description
Professors Janeil Rey and Shelby Clark present an illustrated talk on the history of the R.B. Strong Company, dating back to its founding by their great grandfather Walter Cressy in the mid-1800s. From paving the original runways at Boston's Logan Airport to their role in the creation of the Museum's sculpture park, the excavation company has been ''Strong on Quality'' since the late 1800s. This program is free for members or with Museum admission.
