Upcoming Events - Saturday, October 14 = Archaeology at Franklin State Forest and DPW Touch A Truck

Now that the rain has subsided, it is time to get outside and enjoy some of our open spaces!

Archaeology at Franklin State Forest

For the history buffs out there, celebrate Archeology at the Franklin State Forest with DCR, Franklin Historical Commission, and Franklin Museum. Travel back in time to the 1930s and visit the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) historic campsite - right in the State Forest! Uncover the hidden truths of our land, meet a state archaeologist, and immerse yourself in nature.

DPW Touch a Truck

For those with children or those that just really like big engines, come to the DPW Touch a Truck event and sit in Conservation's newest equipment - the "Conservation Flotation", our 10-foot boat to help mitigate beaver dams, clear stormwater infrastructure, and other odd jobs.

While you're there, come visit our Conservation table for some fun handouts, demonstrations, and trail maps.

Both events are scheduled for Saturday, October 14 from 10 AM - 2 PM.

Can't choose which one to attend? Go to both!

Franklin's Second Annual Fire Hydrant Painting Contest

VOTE FOR YOUR FAVORITES BY LIKING THE PICTURES!!

In August the Department of Public Works announced the Town of Franklin's second annual fire hydrant painting contest. The project was designed to draw attention to the hydrants, promote upkeep and public awareness of the water system and foster engagement with the ultimate goal of encouraging a sense of pride in the infrastructure among residents.

From October 6, 2023 to October 12, 2023 residents can vote for their favorite fire hydrant art on the DPW's Facebook Post . Winners will be announced at the DPW Touch a Truck event on Saturday October 14, 2023.
