The Colrain Historical Society is excited to offer a new booklet for sale. It is a reprint of “Industries and Occupations of Colrain” by Katherine Holton Cram, originally published in 1941, with 72 added photographs and maps and new text.
Cram’s original 30-page history appeared in the 1941 Annual Report of the Pioneer Valley Memorial Association and has not been printed since then. In a 1936 newspaper article Katherine Cram reports that she spent many years researching the genealogy and history of Colrain families, and said “You see, there is a real need for a history of Colrain, for the past of this town is scattered through many volumes.”
The original 1941 text is courtesy of the PVMA Library, Deerfield, Massachusetts. The new edition is © 2023 by the Colrain Historical Society, Inc.
