Dean Museum Exhibit Commences with Saturday Commencement

Once again, in coordination with Dean College Commencement, Saturday,
May 18, the Franklin Historical Museum will be opening its doors for
extended hours to welcome the Dean community and the public and to
share our local treasures.

In addition to artifacts and

aspects of local culture, the museum will be showing throughout the
day, a 1965 Dean Centennial Film as well as a Dean College
"Broadway sampler" featuring performances of well-known
popular songs performed at variety of campus locations.

And, of course, there will be
artifacts to examine, ranging from athletic regalia and graduation
gear to historic news clippings, photographs, athletic programs, and
more.
