Thank you, Historic New England! I have been honored as the winner of the 2023 Prize for Collecting Works on Paper for my lifetime achievement as curator of the Candy Wrapper Museum and my books "Necco–An Epic Candy Tale" and "Necco–The Archive Collection,” which chronicle the history of the New England Confectionery Company and its family of brands from the 19th through the 21st centuries.

Historic New England is the oldest and largest regional heritage organization in the nation. Their prize honors a collector or dealer who has assembled or helped save significant collections related to New England and its diverse communities or to the nation as a whole. I would have never dreamed when I started my collection as a teen that I would receive an honor of such prestige.

    Darlene Lacey began her collection of candy wrappers as a teenager in the 1970s with “Nice Mice.” The Candy Wrapper Museum has since grown into one of the most significant collections of its kind, providing a window into American cultural trends and fads, the history of design and advertising, and a powerful nostalgia trip for those in search of forgotten candy of the past.
