Second Sunday Speaker Series: Uncas, Hero or Villain - Oct 12 at 1:15 PM

Join Historical Commission Chair Alan Earls for a slide show exploration of this complex and crucial, Colonial-era leader whose name adorns a town pond and multiple roads in Franklin. 

Uncas helped to give the Mohegan tribe of Connecticut its own identity and culture, which survives to this day, but has drawn criticism for his cooperation with invading English settlers. We will dive into his life and times and his legacy in a 45-minute talk. 

The program starts at 1:15.  The museum is open from 1-4 and admission is free. 

The Franklin Historical Museum is located at 80 West Central Street, Franklin. The museum is open Saturday mornings from 10AM-1PM (except as noted above), Sunday afternoons from 1:00PM-4:00PM, and, experimentally, Thursday from noon to  5 PM. 

When visiting the museum, please consider donating a non-perishable item for the Franklin Food Pantry.    Questions? Contact Alan Earls at 508 560 3786.   Visit us online at https://www.franklinmuseum1778.org
