The Franklin Historical Museum will be hosting a one-day learning event (originally planned for two days, but now refined into just one) for Saturday, August 17 from 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM (immediately following the Museum's regular 10-1 Saturday hours).

| Celebrating India's Independence Day |
The program draws inspiration from the twin summer independence days of the United States (July 4) and India (August 14). While the two nations are very different in many ways, a common connection to British legal and business practices as well as widespread use of the English language provide much common ground.
Planned activities on August 17 include:
- Opening remarks, welcome
- National anthems of the USA and India
- An overview of Indian Culture, History, and common threads with Europe and the USA
- Dance - an introduction to the meaning and practice of dance in India.
- An introduction to Yoga, Meditation and Ayurveda
The last part of the program will be an interactive opportunity for attendees and presenters to share ideas and ask questions.
