What sort of fun, interesting, and wacky foods did the Beech-Nut Packing Company make when it was located here in Canajoharie? Come explore the archives and collection and find out! Then, see if you can design an ad campaign using a piece of fine art from the collection started by Beech-Nut's founder, Bartlett Arkell, like many of the early advertisers working for the company did.
