"The World Comes to Salisbury: Celebrating the Holley Knife Collection"

This exhibit showcases my research on the Holley family (owners) and the Shaw family (workers), tracing their intertwined histories across the 100-year timeline of the Holley Manufacturing Company, established in 1844. A centerpiece of the exhibition is the restored Eastlake-style cabinet, originally created by Holley Manufacturing to display their products at the 1876 Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia.
