Halloween Cemetery Tour – with Dean College
Professor Rob Lawson -Thursday, October 30
Join local historian Dr. R. A. Lawson for an annual Franklin tradition—the Halloween Cemetery Tour. Weaving the history of gravestone symbolism with local and broader New England history, Dr. Lawson brings to life the stories of our predecessors with tales of tragic death, love lost, murder, and even treason! Who needs spooky ghost stories when the real history is truly sensational? 

All are welcome. There is no cost though donations to the Franklin Historical Commission are encouraged and gratuities are accepted. 

Meet at the cemetery at 5 PM.
