Backstory and Context
Text-to-speech Audio
The Gladding museum operated beginning 1972 and closed in the mid 1980s when the company, which was founded in 1816, went bankrupt. Gladding was once one of the world's largest fishing line manufactures. Its museum collection was, fortunately, saved and housed for about 16 years until the Pulaski/Eastern Shore Chamber of Commerce decided to build a museum for it and construction began in 2003.
