Did you know the Nunda was once the home of the world's largest builder of road paving machines? You won't want to miss our program on Wednesday, September 9, 7 PM; Every Foote a Mixer: A History of the Foote Company of Nunda 1898-1955 by Chris Foote. In 1898, Nunda brothers Charles and Chester Foote invented the first powered cement mixer — a quiet but transformative innovation that helped fuel the road-building revolution and construction boom of the early 20th century. Foote mixers supported major infrastructure projects, provided steady employment for Nunda families during the Great Depression, and later contributed to the Allied war effort during World War II. Presented by Chris Foote, great grandson of Chester Foote, this illustrated program draws on years of research, historic images, and family stories to share the history of Nunda’s most famous industry.
