The owners of the West Wareham-based Hayden Manufacturing Co., David and Raymond St. Jacques, will speak at the March meeting of the Rochester Historical Society on Wednesday, March 15  at 7 p.m. All are welcome to attend.

The Hayden Manufacturing Co. has been supplying the cranberry industry since 1892. It has been family owned since 1927. The Hadyen separator was invented by Linthrop Hayden of South Carver, who established the company.  This separator revolutionized the cranberry industry.

The grandsons (David and Raymond) of Linthrop now own the company and have expanded their cranberry equipment/welding services by establishing an antiques store at their Carver Road, West Wareham building.   All are welcome to attend.
