On February 23rd, the Bedford Historical Society was happy to welcome Mr. Anthony Sammarco to speak at the First Church of Christ, Congregational. Mr. Sammarco presented a wonderful lecture about the famed Baker’s Chocolate Company and his book “The Baker Chocolate Company: A Sweet History”. Mr. Sammarco’s book examines the true story behind America’s First Chocolate Company, formed in pre-Revolutionary New England (Dorchester Massachusetts). The beginning of the video also includes Society Meeting updates and minutes. This lecture was made possible thanks to a grant from the Bedford Culture Council, a local agency which is supported by the Massachusetts Cultural Council, a state agency. Please keep in mind this was filmed with an iPhone 10 so the sound quality may not be 100% in some spots. Especially towards the end during the Q & A.
