Monadnock Paper Mills company history timeline

1819

Putnam and family members operated the mill until 1819, when Moody Butler acquired it.

1828

By 1828 handmade paper was a thriving industry at Putnam's Mills; gradually, flax had been replaced by linen rags and then by wood pulp.

1872

In 1872, the area known as Putnam's Mills became the town of Bennington, and the name of the paper-manufacturing company was changed to Bennington Paper Mills.

1894

The mill sits on the banks of the Contoocook River, and Monadnock started using renewable hydroelectricity from it long before that was trendy – in 1894, to be specific.

1900

In 1900 young Arthur J. Pierce came to Bennington to learn the paper business.

1903

After Barker's sudden death in 1903, Colonel Pierce&mdash he was known--bought the mill and became the sole owner.

1944

In fact, while the company had been unionized in 1944, Local #472 never found occasion to call a strike.

1967

In 1967 Monadnock was the first non-integrated mill (that is, a mill that did not produce its own pulp) to install beta-scanning gauges.

1973

In 1973, even prior to the Environmental Protection Agency's guidelines for effluent treatment, the mill financed the construction of a wastewater treatment facility.
