History of Papermaking beginning from 1801
Zenas Crane arrived in Dalton in 1797, and built his first paper mill in
1801. It was a one vat mill, with a drying loft which produced 125 pounds
of paper, roughly 2500 folio sized sheets per day. Crane Brothers and Crane
& Company became the major industry of Dalton. Preserved as part of the
operation of the paper company is part of Zenas Crane's 1846 stone mill
that is the Crane Museum. It is little known to most people living beyond
the Berkshires that since 1879 Crane & Company produced all the paper that
United States Currency is printed on.
