Second Sunday Speaker: “History in Our Backyard!”

Dean College Professor. Dr. Rob Lawson, presents “History in Our Backyard!” Congressman Tip O’Neill is remembered as saying all politics is local. All history is local too. 

In this interactive presentation, Dr. Lawson will share a variety of examples where “big” history (national/global) meets local history stories. Wars, pandemics, and natural disasters are painful reminders of how big events can affect local communities, and Franklin is no exception. 

Together, we’ll encounter a couple of Franklin history “puzzles” and explore some of the film and digital history initiatives that are making our local history accessible and relevant right now. 

Bring your curiosity and put on your thinking cap as we explore the history in our backyard! at the Franklin Historical Museum. 

Museum open 1-4, program starts at 1:15. FREE
