So this is still prime wedding season and the Historical Museum can provide a comfortable setting to view some gowns and stories from Franklin weddings.
The Franklin Historical Museum's summer Wedding Gown Exhibit is presently on display at the museum. 11 gowns ranging from 1890 to the 1960s are on display along with photos and stories of the brides who wore them.
Featured this year is the gown worn by beloved Franklin teacher, Palma Johnson, whose Kennedy school class had legislation passed to have the Lady Bug named as Massachusetts official state bug!
The parachute gown is one again on display as well as many mother/daughter displays of gowns from both generations.
The museum is located at 80 West Central Street in the old Town Hall, is handicap accessible and is open
- Saturdays 10:00am-1:00pm,
- Sundays 1:00pm-4:00pm
- Thursday evenings 5:00pm-8:00pm.
