Framingham’s Wallace Nutting was an American renaissance man.  He was a minister, photographer, furniture maker, preservationist, and the father of the Colonial Revival movement.  From his factory in Framingham, Nutting produced prints and furniture meant to evoke “old New England,” which became must-have decorative items for the growing American middle class.  His style influenced design, art, and architecture for half a century.  Linda Palmer, author of Wallace Nutting: Father of the Colonial Revival Movement, will share the highlights of a life well-lived. After thirty years of research, Palmer has compiled a tremendous amount of material, images, and historical furniture that propel this book from a biography to a researcher’s guide to all things Nutting. Prepare for Palmer’s talk by purchasing her book here or read about Nutting on our Framingham’s Top 10 exhibition.
