Explore Franklin's Age of Industry With Second Sunday Speakers

Award winning historian Joe Landry will begin the talk at 1:15 with a deep dive into the backstory of some of the important structures and industries illustrated in 3D in the Franklin in Miniature exhibit. He will explore the history that is still visible as well as some of the prior structures and enterprises that had already been swept aside by ‘progress’ in 1932. This is an expansion of some of the topics discussed by Joe in looking at the history of railroads in Franklin.

The second part of the presentation will feature, master modeler, and historian, Scott Mason, discussing the painstaking effort that went into creating his exact models – both the research and the craft work.
