Beacon Industrial Manufacturing LLC company history timeline

2002

While Beacon Blankets hung in there longer than most, the company, then led by a second-generation employee named Tedd Smith, was forced to shut its doors in 2002.

Multiple generations of Swannanoa Valley residents worked at the mill until its closure in 2002.

2005

The very last operating remnant of the Beacon industry, the Dorel Hat Company, permanently shut the doors of its warehouse near the Metro North station in 2005.

2009

A Hat Parade down Main Street was organized that same year to commemorate this important piece of the city’s industrial history, and was revived annually until 2009.

2019

The Swannanoa Valley Museum maintains collections related to Beacon, and its 2019 exhibit is part of ongoing efforts to educate the public about the history of the mill and its workers.
