To mark the 100th anniversary of the Sons & Daughters of Italy, the Museum will be inaugurating an exhibit dedicated to Franklin’s Italian-American community!
The exhibit includes many photographs and memorabilia of the Lodge and the local Italian community and will kick off other related events, culminating in a banquet at the VFW on May 16. Organizers are also hoping to conduct oral history interviews and to gather old photographs for scanning and sharing!
On Sunday, April 12, the Museum will be hosting celebrated historical author Stephen Puleo to discuss his book “The Boston Italians.” In it, Mr. Puleo chronicles the arrival and establishment of Italian-American communities from the North End to the present day. His talk will begin at 1:15, and is free to the public.
$5 donations to the Museum are encouraged.
