Franklin Historical Museum: French Neutrals during the French and Indian War - Sep 8
Our Second Sunday Speaker Series this month features Steve Joanis discussing local French Neutrals during the French and Indian War. Steve and his wife Bronya are historical re-enactors who will present in costume and discuss the time period between 1754 and 1763 when New France was at war with the British colonies, both supported by homeland military power and Native Americans.
The presentation will focus on the Robichaud family, Nova Scotians relocated to the New England States during the war. Come learn about this little talked about, but fascinating time in our local history. Sunday, September 8 at 1:10 PM. Admission is always free, donations are always welcome. The Second Sunday Speaker Series is supported by the Friends of the Franklin Historical Museum.
On Sunday September 15 join us as State Rep Josh Cutler discusses his recently published book, Mobtown Massacre. Back in the day, freedom of the press often had to be defended with pens and pistols! Learn how one Massachusetts town came to be named for a fiery Federalist newspaper editor from Maryland whose anti-war writings provoked a bloodthirsty mob, a midnight jailbreak and a brutal massacre that stunned the nation in 1812.
It all started with a headline. Representative Cutler’s talk will start at 1:10 PM
The museum’s gift shop is the perfect place to a gift for anyone who loves Franklin. Get your Gazebo ornament before the Christmas rush. A choose from one of three black cat collectables, featuring the new library edition, the train station or the Red Brick School. The gift shop is supported by the Friends of the Franklin Historical Museum.

"Some students may grouse a little when they hear this statement: Your school day is going to be longer starting this September.
But tell them to take heart - it will only be by five minutes.
Franklin Public Schools is advising families that five minutes will be added to all students’ school days, K-12, for the 2019-2020 school year.
Consequently, new dismissal times will be at 2:10 p.m. for Franklin High School, 1:55 p.m. for Annie Sullivan Middle School and Remington Middle School, 2 p.m. for Horace Mann Middle School, and 2:45 p.m. for all elementary schools."
