Jack Dragga
Mr. Dragga is a graduate of Ohio University with a Bachelor’s Degree in Art with an emphasis in Photography. He is also self-taught in Video Production where he has won 5 bronze Telly Awards for his work. A Bedford resident since the mid 1980’s, Jack decided to volunteer at the Bedford Historical Society after having retired. He brings with him his love of history. He has created many documentaries for The International Buster Keaton Society and is the author of Buster’s extensive filmography in the book “Buster Keaton: Cut to the Chase” by Marion Mead as well as helping with research for the BBC/PBS documentary “Buster Keaton: A Hard Act to Follow.”. He became a volunteer in 2021 helping with research and updating exhibits and soon became the Curator in charge of creating new exhibits.
“One thing I have learned doing research is that history isn’t always pretty and to ignore it or bury it is the same as saying it never happened.”
