A History of Franklin Written in Stone

Just who were the prominent people and families who helped shape our town in the early days after incorporation? The Mann Family, Oliver Dean, the Rays, Thayers, Ponds, Metcalfs, Fishers, Fletchers, etc.

Many of these families sent notable men into the world as well as many who leant high standards of service to our town. They’re all resting peacefully in the Union Street Cemetery and they all have a story to share. Come learn about their lives, their influence and see the beautiful monuments and gravestones that mark their life and passing.

Sunday March 12, 2023. Doors open at 1:00, presentation starts at 1:15. Admission is always free.
