Jewelry Findings Manufacturer Welcomes Participation in Public School 2007 History to Go Program

The Attleboro Area Industrial Museum continues to bring local history to the third grade classrooms of Attleboro's public schools, benefiting more than 300 students.

Attleboro, MA (PRWEB) April 18, 2007 -- Attleboro Public School third graders will benefit again this spring, when George Shelton, Curator of the Attleboro Area Industrial Museum visits city elementary schools with his exciting History to Go Program. The History to Go Program is a mobile museum exhibit which was developed in response to a reduction in public school field trip activities.

This year, Mr. Shelton has added a power-point presentation to accompany the interactive presentation of fossils, photographs, ancient tools, and a timeline of local area history.

Offering local anthropology, geography, social, and industrial history, the hour-long presentation concluded with the students participating in a hands-on craft project, allowing them to take home a gift which the students carefully and proudly assemble themselves. The project is a key ring made with locally manufacturered jewelry findings.

Guyot Brothers is pleased to once again supply the brass charms which will be the decorative jewelry component of the key rings. This year the charm selection includes hearts, kittens, frogs, turtles, zebras, carousel horses, lambs, and cowboy boots, from Guyot's extensive line of stamped jewelry findings.

Operating continuously since 1904, Guyot Brothers is one of Attleboro's oldest manufacturers. Attleboro is know as the Birthplace of the Jewelry Industry in America, and Guyot Brothers, now in its fourth generation, continues to produce their high-quality line of stamped filigree, charms, floral, and other decorative stampings in the city. For viewing the line in person, the company maintains a showroom at their factory in Attleboro.
