Photos from Davis Thayer Open House - Saturday, Oct 21, 2023

I did get to spend sometime wandering in and amongst the rooms large and small in the former Davis Thayer Elementary School. Approaching its 100th anniversary, it opened in 1924 as Franklin High School, it is now a town facility looking for what its future will be.

Members of the Davis Thayer Reuse Committee were present to sign folks in and answer questions, or share reminiscences. 

A few highlights are shared here:
