Dear fellow Hanoverians:
From Kitchen Darkroom to Historical Legacy: The Photography of Thomas Drew
Long before modern photography, South Hanover storekeeper Thomas Drew
(1845–1913) was capturing the soul of Massachusetts’ South Shore.
Operating from his home on the banks of the Indian Head River, Drew
transformed his kitchen into a darkroom and used a simple burlap tarp
outside as his portrait studio. Today, his incredible collection of
glass-plate negatives stands as a breathtaking time capsule of local family
life, friendships, and historic landmarks.
Don’t miss this opportunity to celebrate a local pioneer with two special
events this summer:
Friday, August 14th (1:00 p.m. – 2:00 p.m.): Gain expert insight into
Drew’s captivating avocation with a lecture by historian Les Molyneaux at
the Hanover Council on Aging, 665 Center Street.
Saturday, August 15th (11:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m.): Get an up-close look at
the past during a special pop-up exhibit at the Stetson House Barn (514
Hanover Street), featuring Drew’s original cameras, historic negatives, and
rarely seen original photo albums.
