Wadsworth Diary - Jan 13, 1892


Foggy & stormed a little most the day & this eve. Thawy. About house most the day.

In the 1850s, on a busy working farm in the southern part of Franklin, a man named George Wadsworth started writing in a journal about everyday events. When he filled that journal, he bought another, and filled that up too. Two dozen journals, and 27 years later, he had written about almost everything that can happen in a small New England town. His words were lost to history until 1986, when town resident Gail Lembo came across some of the journals at a yard sale.

Budget Workshop - School presentation

From the Budget Workshop held on Wednesday, Jan 11, 2012 - this is the School Budget presentation.



You can view the budget workshop via the on-demand feature from the Franklin webpage. The meeting ran just under an hour and was reported to be quite informative (I haven't caught up to view it myself yet, hopefully this long weekend will provide some time to do so).
