The Heckman Bindery New Exhibit 2024
The Heckman Bindery began in the Heckman's home in 1930. Paul Heckman and his friends "tinkered" with binding books in the basement. It was Vernon Heckman, his father, that saw an opportunity to make money and support his family during the Great Depression. By the 1970s there were 550 employees, and they were the largest bindery in the United States.
Our gratitude to Tom and Kay (Heckman) Hervey for underwriting this exhibit.
