Franklin Fourth of July Coalition Expands Community Group Participation

After a slow reduction in the number of community groups participating in the annual July 1-5 community events on Franklin Town Common, the trend seems to have reversed this year, with two new groups, the FHS Class of 1978 and the Franklin 250th Anniversary Celebration Committee...

Franklin Rod &  Gun Club.

Incorporated in 1936, the Franklin Rod and Gun Club Inc. is a non-profit, private sporting club located on Uncas pond in Franklin, Massachusetts. With over 150 current members, the club is one of the oldest active organizations in Franklin.  One of the unique aspects of the club is our boat landing and fishing beach. Although Uncas pond is land locked by private property, the club believes in sharing the pond and its resources and therefore maintains free public access via our boat landing which is maintained solely with club funds. During the Independence Day Celebrations, the club has a robust tradition of serving up amazing fried treats!
